Hi
My S10 has just started to make a clunk sound from the front when braking and it's quite annoying.
I have eliminated the disks, fitted new pads, I have also tried it with one calliper removed and one fitted, and then vice versa, but it still does it.
I can reproduce the problem when stationary as follows:
Jack the front wheel off the floor so it can be spun,
Spin the wheel in one direction as fast as possible and get the missus to grab the brake and the clunk can be heard, and then spin in the opposite direction and repeat.
It will only click once in a given direction so each spin has to be the other direction of the previous.
Also I can get it to clunk by locking the front brake lever in (brakes on full) and then forcefully turn the wheel against the brakes, it will make a clunk noise and move very slightly.
The obvious thing to be is the brake pads moving back and forth which is fine but why has it just started making a loud noise.
