Clunky Brembos

[mmfb]

Does anyone else have brembos that clunk into place every time you change direction and brake? Mine are now getting quite loud. If i reverse, and brake, then go forward and brake, the brakes seem to resettle into a new position - which is what Im led to belive is the clunking sound.

Any one else for one ?

Hi Mate,

This seems to be normal with the Brembos on the LCR. Allegedly the pads are a relatively loose fit in the caliper. Nothing to worry about.

Spot on, its a feature.

A bit of copper grease can sort it for a time though.

had same prob,so took it to stealers who just re-greased it.

fine since then!!

aha, my LCR brakes are doing this as well, thought mine was a one off, although seems like its a common problem with LCR's

Mine does it to.... the guy at Awesome told be to check my locator pins as they seem to be loose that is why they clunk?

Also been told it was a normal thing and not to worry..... My pads on the front are very low at the moment so think thats not helping.

I had Big Boys Toys check my car out too, their mechanic also noticed the locator pins were loose, recommended getting new calipers as thought they might have been damaged, but to me it sounds like the calipers are fine. No problems with braking performance at all

Agree with you rich no problem under breaking and its been doing it pretty much since I picked up the car....
