What's wrong with my car? Clunking at front left side. Could it be my brakes?
I have a ford fiesta zetec. Like an idiot I did not run it for a few months after getting a flat tyre. I had the tyre replaced today and used my cover with green flag to get a guy out to recharge my battery as it was completely flat.
The bloke who changed the tyre said the brake stuck but had released when he changed the tyre. (right drivers side)
However when I set off in the car earlier I noticed a clunking sound from the front left side (sort of with each rotation) and so I went straight back and parked it. I could feel the brake pedal moving as I hovered my foot in time with the clunks.
Is it likely to be a rusted brake?
Advice would be great!
Check the engine.
Yes. It is damage to the surface of the brake disc or drum.
It may wear smooth after a few applications of the brakes at a decent speed (not necessarily high speed, but 20-30mph), or you may need to replace the disc or drum.
- Anyone possibly know what could be wrong with my brakes? I was driving home from work and out of nowhere the pedal sinks down to the floor. I tried bleading the breaks and that didn't work. My truck is a 98 ford ranger xlt 4 cylinder. I can't take it to a shop now cuz it has no brakes.
- Left front and rear car speakers don't work when using aux port? So I just got a 1994 Ford Mustang GT, all front and rear speakers work when I use the radio/CD, but when I plug in my aux and play my iPod, only the right side front and rear speakers work… What could be the problem?
- Ford Fiesta: What could be leaking oil on the opposite side to the exhaust next to the rear left tyre? There's a huge oil leak coming from my 01 fiesta on the opposite side to the exhaust, it's really badly rusted, does anyone know what part of the car this is? Or send me a link to a webpage that will tell me?
- Popping noise in rear wheels when I shake my truck side to side. What would cause this sound? I have a 2003 ford f150 xlt supercrew and when i turn sometimes it sounds like something falls over in my bed of my truck.( i have nothing in the bed of my truck) so i had someone shake my truck side to side while i climbed under the back by the rear end, and found that my rear wheels (both sides) make a popping noise. What could this be?
