[GrayTT]

Help needed!!!

I have an issue with my GrayTT and the dealer here cannot seem to get there hands on it…

I have a knocking sound coming from the front and the back whenever I use my breaks. Say I am in N and change it into D and have it roll for a few feet, now as soon as I apply the brakes I hear the knock (as if something is loose and moved due to the forces developed by brakes). Now if I roll forward again the sound almost never repeats, but if I change the direction and place the transmetion into R and have it rolls, the knock is back.

The dealer changed the spring kit, lubed and adjusted a few things, and replaced the pads yet the problem persists.

Any thoughts?

Obviously a tech knows more than me but from my racing (MX) days it could be:

The shocks topping out? Maybe the rebound damping is shot?

Rotors? Hubs?

But I bet one of the shops on here could offer a pretty good idea what it is

my friend had the same problem but he drives a Mini. His control arm bushings had worn out. tell them to check all the bushings and anything that basically wears out over time.

I know this probably wont help... But did you look under the seat, or Trunk?

I had a Glass Bottle under my passenger seat, and whenever I would brake, it would hit the metal supports, and "clunk". When I accelerated, nothing *was hitting a piece of rubber. Drove me Crazy trying to figure it out (Checked the Coilovers & adjusted, Air Pressure in Tires/Alignment, Motor Mounts, Trans mount etc.) ... Went like a month before I was finally cleaning out the car and found the bottle.

Sounds like your front thrust bushing, replace em with some gmg solids.

You Drink and Drive and will end up like this guy - Intoxicated driver’s stranded Ferrari plowed by train in Sherman / Local News, Weather, Sports, Severe Weather, and Breaking News Coverage for Sherman TX, Denison TX, Ardmore OK, Durant OK, Ada OK

Turned out to be one of these -



Anyway.... Hope you can figure it out!
