I had aftermarket pads, went back to OEM and the clunk was gone. The aftermarket ones didn't fit as well resulting in a clunk. |

Same here, I put RB500 pads on my Brembo's. Since they were really thick, couldn't put the shims on. Once the pads wore down a little, they started to "shift" causing the clunk. Put new shims on and the clunk was gone.

My 7AT was doing this for a while and it was driving me nuts, only low speeds, and very loud. I happen to get a nail in one of my rear tires and when getting it patched the tech noticed my TPMS was missing. It was inside the wheel.
My light never came on beacause it was still transmitting LOL! After we took it out no more clunk.

Checked the camber arm bushing? Worth a shot.

Don't think its a worn/loose pads...they checked the brakes thoroughly.
Looking at the service notes more - they listened to the rear suspension components with chassis ears while braking and found noise most noticeable from the right rear upper control arm. They replaced the arm and noise is still present. |

I have a 2009 auto and it makes a beautiful sound like yours when I am coming at a complete stop from almost any speed... ESPECIALLY if I am in manual mode, when it shifts down to 1st, I feel/hear a loud clunk

Update - I heard back from Nissan Consumer Affairs today and was told that there's nothing they can do. Apparently they really do not stand behind their products.
I've seen posts here regarding brake pads/shims. I only have 4500 miles on the car and the brakes/pads are the OEM. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can proceed? |

i'm also going to vote something with the brakes.
if those are the OEM pads, that's not how the rotor surface should look. if it's possible, do a full bed-in and see if that helps. just dont come to a complete stop during or after the procedure. instead, head for the motorway and drive for 5-10mins to cool down the brakes. You will need to predict the lights and brake very gradually to avoid coming to a stop. if you must stop, use the handbrake to hold the car. secondly, if i roll (forwards or backwards) and yank the handbrake up, it will make that sound in the video. thirdly, OEM pads shouldnt vibrate or groan when you let go of the pedal slightly. they release quite smoothly and without noise. to me, it looks like some material on the rotor surface that is affecting the performance of the brakes. similar to when you wash your car and hose the wheels, create brown rusty deposits on the rotors and back your car out. the brakes are super sensitive for the first couple of light applications, then return to normal. |

are you guys braking hard? i always hear a distinct clunk when i press the brakes pretty hard. its just the ABS doing its thing i've always assumed. only happens when i brake quickly to a stop. ive taken apart most of my suspension/brakes and theres absolutely nothing wrong, and therefore doesnt even bother me anymore
woops, didnt realize this thread was a year old haha Last edited by chops; 10-14-2013 at 05:10 PM. Reason: holy thread bump |
