[Mk2] [Generic] Goose honk noise from front left wheel?

Post by Mikey637 »

Hey guys, recently had coilovers, discs+pads+ball joints+drop links all round as well as 2 replacement (although not refurbed) front calipers). Since the works been done I've developed a noise that sounds like geese flying overhead coming from the front left wheel but only after I've braked a few times.

I bedded the brakes properly (nice gentle braking for 600miles around a wales trip) and yet the noise persists. Today I stripped it down and cleaned the brake dust off as well as copper greasing the back of the pads. There's nowhere I can see it rubbing and the brakes run nice and free so I'm stumped.

I have also noticed a slightly rumbling as if front wheel bearing on the same wheel, would this contribute?

Any help is appreciated!
