Title: click/clunk under braking
Post by: fatboyfat on 24 January 2009, 11:58:42

hi all,there is a clunk/click from under car when braking,it happens part way thro' braking cycle(not immediately when braking and not near end).can only be heard if window open i.e. not from iside car.No clunk when brakes applied stationary only moving.any ideas??.

Also last week had a rear wheel brief rusty hinge type sound,very brief when reversing a couple of times,went away after 5yard reverse.
Worrysome or not????

As Markey Mark says. Does sound like rear braking system needs servicing. Have a read here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152564750  :y
