Slight thud

[Gary Pease]

hi guys my 182's developed a slight thudding sound while driving! It gets faster as I go faster and vice versa I've checked for things stuck in the tyre and can't find anything can anyone give a clue as to what might be causing this
Cheers guys

 

[hipwell]

Is it constant? Only when you go over bumps? Only when cornering? When accelerating or coasting?

Need a bit more info

 

[Gary Pease]

It seems to be constant, can hear it while accelerating and while coasting it sounds like there's a stone or nail stuck in a tyre but can't find anything

Check the brakes next?

 

[Gus]

Check the wheel nuts too

 

[Gary Pease]

Check the brakes next?

Check the brakes for what? It stops fine and the thud doesn't get worse under braking

 

[Gary Pease]

Check the wheel nuts too

Just for looseness?

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

It'll be suspension related.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just for looseness?

Yeah. I've had loose wheel nuts before and they cause all kinds of weird noises, but never resulted in wheel wobble etc so it kinda goes under the radar

 

[Vaughan]

Work out whether the noise is related to road speed or engine speed.
Drive so you can hear the sound, then put the car in neutral, let the clutch out and let the engine idle. Does the sound change? Does it change when the clutch is in? Does it change with road speed?

If it changes with road speed then it's something connected to the wheels. If it changes with engine speed it's something connected to the engine.

CV joint gaitor clip broken?

 

[oreA]

Have you checked the tyre walls, outer & inner? I had a bulge in one once that caused a speed related thudding.

 

[Gary Pease]

Found where the knocking is coming from! Rear drivers disc cracked! M tec been on around a year! Anyone suggest better replacements

 

[imprezaworks]

Oops. Brembo mate.

Odd it's cracked as the rear has little use

 

[imprezaworks]

Check the brakes next?

Nailed it.

 

[Gary Pease]

Just solid discs?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep

 

[Gary Pease]

Cheers

Speak to George

Pfftt lucky guess...

If your clios anything like mine you'll replace the disk and you'll still have the "slight thud" I've been chasing the cause of my slight thud for sone time now!

 

[imprezaworks]

Aye maybe but atleast he won't have broken discs anymore

 

[Jekyll]

When you change your discs, keep the disc spacer if it's in good condition as Renault don't sell them anymore.

I'd go OE brakes. Best ones for these with the best bearings.

This.

Bearings are supposed to be better in the OEM than aftermarket ones.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Check your calipers aren't binding, excessive heat may have caused the crack. But I'd only use plain OE on the rear anyway , get in touch if want a set @Gary Pease
