Knocking Noise On Braking

[Stuart 123]

Hi Lexus RX 300 2001 year

took for M O T expecting a problem with getting a pass but ,No Probs.

That was about a month a go told them at garage "Knocking Noise from front of car"they had a look at disc,s and it went through Mot ok,without finding the problem

I think it is getting worse or just aware of it.

I thouht it was near side (UK) my passenger feels it when brake he thought drivers side.

Drives fine smooth only felt when braking

Any idears input much appricated,might have to take to another garage not sure what trye ,Not maine dealers too dear not that good in Stoke

Tyres are getting towards end of life but Legal so my take to Tyres and brake garage specialist

Could be drive coupling ?

Thanks for reading Stuart

Go to your dealer, on line diagnostics without sight of car make little sense and can be no more than guess work.

Result for you!

I would have thought it was the caliper carrier myself - how do brake discs make a knocking noise when all they do is spin? But if it fixed your problem, awesome stuff man.
