Thwop thwop thwop
« on: March 15, 2013, 07:43:24 pm »
Noticed this in the past few days. When starting out from cold, at low speeds, I can here a thwop thwop sound. More noticeable at low speed - mainly if braking or coasting to a stop. Not noticeable once above 20mph or so. Had winter rims/tyres removed and have summer ones on but still present. Not noticed it after a few mins into the journey.

Any thoughts?

Nothing done to brakes recently. Vredestein/Monzas initially, now F1/Pescaras. Still get it at low speed in the cold.

Did you get to the bottom of it?

Just to throw some out there: Stone chips in tyre tread / brake dust shields catching slightly / wheel bearings / cv joint (split boot, is it leaking grease?)...
