Pad knockback

ChrisSlicks · 06-04-2009, 03:11 PM

Supposedly the pad knock back problem was fixed in the 370Z by strengthening the control arm and using a beefier wheel bearing.

I have noticed that sometimes on the street you get a little bit of extra travel that first time, and then it is fine after that. Haven't had any problem with that on the track (where it was a problem with the 350Z).

Right..that's exactly what I've noticed. That's pad knockback. Okay, glad I'm not the only one.

I haven't noticed any such issue, but I there's really only a couple of spots I regularly drive through that would have any chance of inducing enough lateral g-force to trigger such a thing.

Well it's not happening under lateral load anymore, which is a good thing. Seems to only happen when you're driving around like an old lady.
