I haven't really mentioned, but here goes...

I am experiencing some front end issues, (hard thumping while braking) I think I need new calipers all the way around! I also have a slight noise while making small turns in the road side to side while driving, not clunking, I just hear a slight, da da da da noise....

Perhaps one of your wheel hub assemblies is loose and there is play?

wouldn't it be throwing an ABS/traction control message if it was? Or could it be loose and not bad enough to throw a code?

Could just be loose but all the connections are still in tact. They shouldn't have any play in them at all

thanks Mike, I think I'm gonna take in a month early for inspection and see what they say. I was planning on getting new rotors, brakes and calipers but not sure where I should get them. I think I might have some cash coming my way soon with income tax and possibly some stock options from work?


I did post this site before but didn't hear back from any members about it? what do you think, check it out if you get a chance...

I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with that site, just make sure you give yourself plenty of time for things to deliver.

Chris, if it was me, I'd use the brake problem as an excuse to upgrade to some better brakes. Maybe a nice red performance set of your choice.

At first I thought the steering issue you were describing was the ISS thing all of us 2000+ owners get. It does sound like something is loose though.
