have you recently had any work done on the car?

Could be the drop links or other ball joints in the suspension, but then I would also expect it to happen when driving over speed bumps etc.

yeh have had quit a bit all done by tge dealer but changed pads myself with non hyundai so im thinking might be that but ive used this brand on all my coupes with no probs

Is it just a single knock you can hear? If you start to brake and hear the knock and then release the brakes and reapply them, does the knock reoccur?

it could be the pads not fitting in the calliper properly,or you've not done up one of the callipers .

Awfully low mileage to be replacing pads.
Were they worn out?
Did you keep the old ones?
If so, I'd be re-fitting them for a test.

yeh one knock then kift off then back on then one knock again. there was bout 4mm left on them im going to check all bokts tomorrow or buy genuine pads and leave it into the dealer im stumped what else it could be

Asterix · **Reply #9: January 04, 2013, 22:13:57**

Then I think it's the brakepads not fitting correct.

Do you still have old pads to compare sizewise to the new ones..

Could you have misfitted or forgotten one of those thin metalplates that keeps the pads in place..

Hibs34 · **Reply #10: January 06, 2013, 11:33:39**

guys u are gems went and bought genuine pads and when took of the caliber the none hyundai ones fell out new one in all tight and no knock moral of the story just pay the extra money for hassle free driving

Asterix · **Reply #11: January 06, 2013, 12:03:05**

Glad you got it sorted..

I replaced the rear brakepad on mine at 172.000 km with OEM parts, no problems. I think you've just been unlucky..

Hibs, it would be good if you provided feedback to the suppliers. Especially if you've used them successfully in the past. They'll most likely take it on board and make adjustments.
