This is what I hear now from my back wheel on the passanger side, "Thunk...thunk...thunk...thunk". I recently had to fix my distributor and was successful at that, but the car sat in the driveway for a few weeks until I could gt to it.

Yesterday I hit the road with it and everytime the wheel goes around it makes a "clunck". My brakes are a year old. I am curious to know what the problem might be and what I could do to fix it. Any thoughts?

Thanx.

 

tighten your lugs?

 

hmmm..i doubt this has anything to do with the distributer. u could have a warped rotor or possibly the wheel needs rebalanced. it would also help to know what kind of car you have.

 

sounds like a bubble in the tire.. or a flath:

 

OK More details...

My car is an Integra 94 LS.

When I left it sitting for a few weeks, it was on the (duh!) emergency brake all that time, which I am certain is not a good idea.

I checked for air pockets on the inside of the tires and found none. The tires are filled with air at their respective PSI.

I just drove it a few minutes ago for about 10 miles. I thought maybe the brakes had crystalized as a friend suggested, so I let them warm up and braked pretty hard a few times including using my emergency brake a couple times to see if the clunking would go away, but it was in vain.

I can feel the scrubbing in the pedal when I brake.

Interestingly enough, it does not appear to make the scrubbing when I am in reverse.

OK... now do you have any more ideas?

 

 

Is it just making a noise, or is it driving wierd? Does it shake at all while driving, or under braking?

 

Oups... sorry about that!

 

It doesn't shake. I feel it very well in the pedal though. The car drives real nicely otherwise.

 

You feel what in the pedal? A shaking or vibration?
