Deep Twwuunngg sound on braking

[thewhangie]

Hi folks, I don't put many miles on the Vxr8 but was out in the town today and a few times on braking, not all the time I am getting a sound from the front drivers area, it sounds like a short twang of a metal cable.

Only had the front discs and pads done a few hundred miles ago, the car has been sitting ouside in the baking hot weather for a few weeks. Couldn't see anything obvious.

I am sure the local garage that did the brakes will have a look, does anyone have any ideas what's happening?

Thanks

Are you sure it's coming from the front?

Seems to come from my right hand side in the region just lateral to my right calf, if that helps?

Sounds like you accidentally locked an archer in the boot.

Is the wheel hitting the back of the wheel arch? Anti-roll bar bushes?

Look for tyre damage or polishing first, as the back of the tyre would be about the right area.

Ok, thanks, I am at work tonight, but will be able to have a look tomorrow afternoon,

thanks.
