C4 to C5 front brake conversion complete, have another question
:cheers: Everything is working great! Stopping is awesome!
But :rolleyes: , I have a new situation which is probably not directly related, but related to something I did or failed to do during the conversion.
When I make a very low speed, rolling, 90 degree right turn, I get a single "klunk" sound from the left front.
I haven't had a chance to get it on the lift and check it out yet, but has anyone had a similar "klunk"
Thanks

Make sure if you have weights in the wheel from balancing that they don't hit. I thought I screwed something up, but my clink was from the wheel weights because the calipers don't have much clearence.
good luck.
good luck.

But I have a single "klink/klunk' only on 90 deg right turns.
I would imagine if the wheel weights were striking the caliper, I would have more than one "sound"
But now that I think about it, my turns could be less than one revo of the wheel, I'll check it out
Thanks :thumbs:
