Odd clunking sound from RF on S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a 95 s14... Last night the RF wheel started making a clunking like sound. Sounds like a clunk everytime the wheel turns over. It only happens when the car is going straight. If you turn the wheel it goes away completely, also if you push in the brake pedal it goes away completely. It's also much worse at lower speeds and fades away in magnitude as you speed up. At first I thought it might be a loose wheel lug or something but they are all tight. Someone help please!!

if it goes away when you hit the brakes its probably brake related. pad loose in the slide, warped rotor, hard spot in the pads, rust behind rotor. id start there

Well I took the wheel off and the caliper everything seemed fine. Put it all back together...No sound now. Wheel must have been lose or crooked somehow.
