"clunking" sound from brakes

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Lucky you! ::

It's a bit hard trying to "impress someone" ( :: ) if every time you brake and turn, you get this *knock**knock**THUMP* [/colorost_uid0]

[Trav]

[color=#3A6EA5ost_uid0]and looking at the damage to dan's car the sounds were from the engine...not the brakes...[/colorost_uid0]

[Toyboy]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Ok peeps, I went and seen the MAZDA Spare parts place today about the cost of these so called problem pins :O
Here is a breakdown pic of the front calipers

Ok now the part circled in red,is apparently the Pin that causes all the clunking,they have made a pin to replace this problem 1,and the part number is [bost_uid0]33661-b45533661[/bost_uid0] and costs [bost_uid0]$37.25 each[/bost_uid0]

Now the pin circled in yellow apparently was ok and shouldnt need replacing,if youd prefer to replace this 1 anyhow the part number is[B]33662-bO92 33662 @ $34.85 each OR BC5F33662 @ $26.75 each[B],depending on what series BA Astina you have,you will have to give them you VIN number to determine it ???
Now the pins circled in the blue are the pins i always though were the problem but the mazda guy tells me diff ???
anyone else know any different

Catch ya [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Kewl, thanks Toyboy[/colorost_uid0]

[Cosmo Dude]

[color=#810541ost_uid0]Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones.
My '96 Passion rose hardtop doesn't click, klunk or ker'thump, it just stops with a slight squeak.

[color=#0000FFost_uid0]Bought my hardtop 2 weeks ago and the brakes were making these funny noises, but this was because the previous owner only did 1000km in 3.5 months, thus the discs needed to worn back in![/colorost_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]only did 1000km in 3.5 months[/quoteost_uid0] Sh!t, I'd do that in about 1.5 weeks!![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Thanks Toyboy,

I have the same thought as you did. Although, there's a diagram, I have no idea how to replace the pin. Will still need to get back to a Mazda dealer for that.[/colorost_uid0]

Okay - I have a little more info on this for you - the stuff that Toyboy was quoted was to replace with original parts (ie this will have the same problem again at a later stage).

Replacement part will do ALL JUN '94+. New part has grooves cut in around the pin to help carry luricant.

Pin Kit is BRY5.33.26Z and retail at $77.50 (per quarter bu you only need to do the front). My local Mazda sapre parts guy is willing to do trade price fo me and my best mate is a mechanic and can do the changes for you guys (at a small cost), so if you want to organise a day let me know.

[Toyboy]

Thsi will be no good to us in NSW but Ive been aching to get mine done :wink:

[MrShadow]

Same Toyboy, might look at getting it done when it next goes in for a service

[BigMal]

Are you guys sure its the front cause for me its the rear that clunks.
Wonder if there is a kit for that.

Thanks for the info anyway.

Mal

[Trav]

Mal - It's the same kit that does all four, but most people only seem to have the problem on the front.

Basically - the pin in question eventually gets a runt worn in it along it's length. This rut is waht causes the clunk sound when the caliper is operated while under stress (usuall turning when the caliper flexes).

The new part (as stated b4) has groves cut along the length which channel the greese to keep it lubricated so the rut doesn't wear in again...

Hope this Helps.

With the NSW guys - come on down for a BBQ. Get all the Vic's and Welshies together for a w/e. I'm sure we can billet out some accomodation for y'all.

[MrShadow]

Sounds like a plan there Trav. Just make sure if Rupe comes along, I don't "accidentally" drive his car home :wink:

Unfortunatley, I won't have the funds for such a trip for some time. Damn uni :x

[Trav]

to drive dan's car home your name must be fred flinstone....

this problem is no critical and con be done anytime. just let me know when you want to do it and we'll organise it. It'll be easier to get a heap done at a time though...

[pr1mo]

trav.
i get the clunky noise you speak of. count me in when we have suitible numbers

cheers mike

[Chook]

You mentioned that you get a noise from your airfilter. Mine does the same, its sort of a "doom" like its sucking air, when i turn the wheels. I can fix this by taking the wire off the power steering but this is not a solution. Any ideas????

[Trav]

to me this sounds like the normal sound of the power steering pump.

Finally got rid of the clunking sound from the brake calipers the second time round. The mechanic told me that my hub is distorted. This causes the brakes to work unevenly. Cost me $380 to change the hub and the bearing. :shock: They felt bad and only charged me $50 for a 2 hr job.

In total, I have forked out $700 for this problem. The servive manager did not record the damaged hub in the first report and that's why it was not fixed properly.

It feels great to drive without that awful sound.
