Hi guys,
I replaced the last portion of the brake lines with braided steel back when I was re-doing everything.
I heard a funny "thwump-thwump-thwump" noise while on a drive a couple a days ago. It sounded like it was in synch, roughly, with speed up or slowdown of the tires. Almost like a flat tire, but the car drove normally otherwise.
I've checked for obvious things and didn't see anything.
I put the car up on stands and noticed that the rear braided lines to the caliper are up against the rim. There is a tire balance weight that is installed hanging off the edge of the rim about 1/4 inch.
So, this may be the noise.
My question is, has anyone secured these lines away from the wheel so there is no contact, and if "yes" how did you do so?
Many thanks guys
