125i Knocking sound in rear suspension?

janus77 · 09-15-2009, 07:15 PM

So when pulling up at the lights etc, if i'm travelling fairly slowly and apply the breaks then release them, it sounds like there's something swining around knocking into the rear suspension or breaks.. I've been getting this since day 1 with the car. Have been told it may be due to the brake pads moving around a bit, it's coming from rear right wheel well from what i can tell.

Anyone else experienced this?

Nope, no problems here.

(still hanging out for pics and vid of your intake by the way)

Yes. No idea. First time I heard it I thought something had fallen over in the boot or something.

Yeah I have probably a similar sound.

You guys taken the car to get checked, or just live with it?
