Knocking sound

[Keithlye]

Hello all, I have this knocking sound coming from the front right corner whenever I hit the brakes. Usually heard when braking is a little harder than normal and upon releasing brake to move off. Any idea what's the cause?

Thanks in advanced,

Keith

Hi Keith, welcome to SGMerc!

Mind stating what's your ride and YOM? Are you on stock brakes, brake pad, suspension, or after market?

[Keithlye]

Hello mark. It's a '05 E200 W211. Everything's stock and I read that it might be the wheel that's not aligned properly or the brake pads or worse the struts.

have u tried sending in to workshop for a diagnose?

I usually go to Autospritze as they specialise in conti rides.

[Keithlye]

Hello Hatch. Nope I haven't sent it to the workshop. I wanna narrow down on what's the possible problems first. I'm afraid that the workshops will suggest changing this and that not the problem is not resolved.

[Odessus]

I don't think any reputable workshop will get you to change this and that without positively identifying the problem. In short, you won't pay for trial and error.

[Keithlye]

So I can have it diagnosed at autospritez? Any other recommended workshops that is reputable and won't do trial and error to troubleshoot?

My ride had knocking sound and Autospritze spent close to 3 hours finding out the problem - nothing short of removing tyres, brake callipers, rotors, exhaust, etc. Finally it came down to an extra long nail anchored in my tyre. Total cost: S$ 20/-.

Been with them for so long. Quite professional with the right equipment, even electronic diagnostic.

Most importantly I dont feel rip off.

It's better to get multiple opinions including "master" CnC... Then compare notes. Usually I will go to ask for about 3-4 workshops because these days there aren't many good mechanics left. Everything is through computerize and not all can be detected via computer. Some are due to mechanical failure and these are through experience.

Lol, tpms shld tell u much faster. For safety, those dont have it standard can consider orange tpms, cheap and effective alternative.

Mine had knocking sound this morning on the front left wheel. Send to Chip Soon to check and found that the front torsion bar was faulty. Cost me $466 to replace.
