Question Clunk noise when I stop quickly...???

I have a Track with Brembo's and when I stop quick I hear a slight clunk from my right front. Does anyone know what this noise is ?? it's more like a low clunk... no loud but loud enough for me to hear.

Thumbs down

Sounds like your upper ball joint/arm bolts are loose. Before driving any further, I would recommend jacking up the front of the car, pulling off the front right wheel, and tightening all the bolts in the front suspension, especially the upper transverse arm. Let us know what you find, as while not common as a fault, an number of 350Zs have been known to come with loose bolts in the front end.
HTH.

The owners manual says that with VDC equiped cars you will here a clunking noise under the fender when it is activated under hard braking or curves. You might get that clunk when the VDC applies brake to the non slipping corner brake.
