Alright I am about to blow a fuse....this damn car I have been working on has this funny vibration stemming from the passenger side...its sort of similar to the noise madewhen you have warped rotors...and it get progressively worse when the brakes are applied. I changed all 4 rotors and pads, master cylinder, passenger caliper, axles...and the damn intermittent thump is still there...still getting worst when brakes are applied...anyone have any idea what this might be?

 

im probally wrong, and will probally get scolded for this, but my friends 2nd gen teg was makeing a thump/clunk noise, when starting, and slowing down etc, 2 days ago his CV joint broke, we replaced the axle, no more thump/clunk, if this doesnt help, then sorry

 

as stated above...already changed the axles...thanks for your input though.

 

whooooooops sorry, didnt see the axle in the description, read to fast

 

Just a guess. It could be your wheel bearing?


My buddy's vw had a bad wheel bearing but it was more of a dry grinding...

My mom's Dodge Caravan does the same thing. We had a shop resurface the rotors and change the brake pads and it still does it. No idea why, it started a short while ago. If anyone knows, I could use the info too.

 

try rebalancing the tires????

a tire vibration is possible and when you hit the brakes it matches frequencies and you get your vib. prob. if you do get them rebalanced have the shop do a ROAD FORCE MEASUREMENT on them it will take the heaviest part of your tire and match it with the lighest point in the rim and give you the best balance available. it can also pick out a out of round rim or a shifted belt.
