Re: brake/ maybe suspension problem

could be worn out suspension bushings, or possible a shock or strut. Any way to make a video of it?

Re: brake/ maybe suspension problem

not really and all the more i can say is it happens when i"m about to nail the brakes and the pedal is about a 4th of the way down, so when i just set my foot on it and i start by applying light pressure and slowly ease it on, not just stomping on them, and the noise is like a pop, not a crack or crunch or breaking sound, just like a "pop" i wish i had a better way to describe the sound, but like i said it doesn't do it all the time, so the video would be 40 mins of me driving around trying to make it happen lol it sounds like if one of the calibpers pistons had a rock it it and just spit it out or something, if that would even be possible probably not, that or theres something rubbing together and "popping" out of place cuz of a lost or loose bolt, hell i have no idea, cars so low i cant get under there to look, need to jack it up first or get it to meineke so they can put it on the lift
