Clunking when braking slotted rotors.

Supahone · 03-21-2024, 08:57 AM

When braking my f10 550xi I can hear a clunking sound as if the calipers are clamping onto the rotors and I feel it over the steering wheel. Ive bled the brakes several times. Anyone had this happen after swapping over to slotted and drilled rotors?

Thrust arm bushings going bad?

Check your thrust arm bushings. Try to move the arm side to side where the bushing connects and see if it flex’s a lot.
