My 2006 3.0 D4D has developed a knock when braking
It doesnt always do it but I am hoping someone else may have experienced the same thing and can point me in the right direction
Sometimes when I brake for a stop street or robot, I get one single knock from the front, sounds like something around the engine or possibly axle. Seems to only do it when there has been a longer run between robots and some decent speed.
One thing I have considered is possibly a damaged bush on an engine mount?
Hope someone can help me sort this one out

Re: Knock when braking
Hi Mike. Engine and gearbox mounts will only cause noises on acceleration and deceleration.
Noises on braking will be related to suspension, steering and braking components. Check the callipers, control arm bushes, idler arm, torsion bar bushes, ball joints and tie rods.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Knock when braking
Well I say braking but its only a single knock and when there is a harder deceleration.
Still comes down to either, Controls arms, engine mounts
Thanks Andy,

Re: Knock when braking
Had something similar on Bulldog some years ago. Turned out to be a shock with a snapped rod, only apparent when upgrading the tired suspension to OME.

Re: Knock when braking
Looks like I am going to be doing some hunting for a knock
