My front left tire clunks only when applying brakes at low speeds.

My car is a TII FC Rex7.

What could it possibly be /o/?

Your rotor clearly has diagonal cracks in it.

Maybe. It doesn't click when I'm reversing, only when going forward though

Done this before it's not hard to check out the bushing you can usually see it if the cars up. Otherwise have someone or set a camera to view your stops, the wheel will sort of lag
>>
>>17272335

I see, so to verify this, I should suspend the wheel and move it diagnaly and vertically to check for play?
>>
>>17272348
You can try that, but you normally just feel ball joint play doing that. To check the bushings I just get a pry bar and move them back and forth. Check sway bar bushings too those go out all the time on lots of different brands.

this

I guess I'll have to scour Youtube and my Haynes manual.

I'm not a mechanic but every problem I've encountered, I managed to fix myself, thanks bro

I concur with control arm bushings, as thats a common problem for all makes and models, but check your caliper bolts/slides and caliper bracket bolts too.
A loose bracket bolt or caliper bolt with cause a soft clunk or thud, can happen in reverse or forward.
>>
>>17272466
Its not that bad. There is like 4 bolts total if your control arm is like mine. Just get a prybar and some penetration oil.

Also, I had to buy two wrenches of the same size to do mine. Youtube your car and just dive in m8 GL.

Ok, so I suspended my wheel and tried to move my wheel around, no budging, took out the wheel and checked my tie rods and ball joints, nothing loose or flimsy, re-greased my brake pins, ect, ect and now the clunk is gone.

But the clunk was already gone when I got back to my car to back it into my driveway, before I checked everything wtf.
>>
hey guys, what about ball joint or wheel bearing?
>>
>>17273958
Kelly had a hard life
>>17273969
Wheel bearing going out means play in the wheel itself and a different noise. Cars are fickle beasts with suspension, just keep an eye on it.
