Have a look under and see if it has unclipped itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Luke can elaborate more on it as he knows brake stuff lol)Other thing we did was tighten the handbrake cable, as it was finger loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sometimes easier to start with the the simple things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is my noise.. it's actually coming from under my left foot in the foot well.. appears to happen moreso when turning left.. at any speed. Maybe swaybar, may one of these handbrake brackets.. had it on the hoist the other day at Jax, didn't appear to be exhaust or swaybar. Will see..
