front end noise
hey all,
still having a noise in front end of Z. Replaced brake pads and also thought it could be shock since I saw wear marks on them. Replaced those too. 2 questions: 1. service ride light still on after replacing shocks 2. any ideas on front end noise. Im thinking sticking brake calipers. If it is any websites to get them from for good price and excellent quality? thanks in advance |

Re: front end noise
1. when does it happen? (at idle, braking, turning, etc)
2. when does it not happen ( idle, braking, turning, etc) 3. can you record it ? 4. are any codes being set? (FX3)

Re: front end noise
Did you put the anti-rattle clips back on the brake pads?

Shock replacement I'd think will require the system be "reset" clearing all codes. A - C in the ALDL 3 times but I've never needed to do this, "scottfab" has a sequencing procedure he mentions works. He'll be back, I'm sure! If you're interested I believe I've one set of the NOS GS Z16/CE Z15 "black" calipers available. Last edited by WVZR-1; 09-05-2013 at 03:19 AM. |

Anyway, once the FX3 actuator problems are fixed (assuming that is it) then the errors will self clear.

If everything is "functioning" - during the "key-on/self-test" if all four don't rotate and then park I believe the light comes on and stays on, I believe also that if there's maybe three key cycles and the car is not driven for a reasonable distance at a minimum speed the light will come on and stay on until driven and even though in theory if everything is operational there should be no light there wouldn't be a clearing procedure for it. I believe this is "scottfab" previous comments regarding reset/clearing: http://www.zr1.net/forum/showpost.ph...54&postcount=3 |

Re: front end noise
Wheel bearing? Is it a rattle, banging, whirring noise?

Re: front end noise
Sway bar bushing or loose end link?
Is it a clatter, a clunk, a rattle, can you feel anything in the wheel, brake pedal, seat of the pants etc. Need more information - straight ahead, when turning, under accel/decel, etc. If you coast and let the wheel float, does it pull to one side? - Jeff |
