Get a clunk, not too loud when I brake..and not always, hard brake, soft brake...not all the time...I looked around up in there...nothing obvious
Couldn't be the previous owner, couldn't be the previous owners mechanics...right? after all, two years ago, receipt for a FULL rear brake job- lines, pads rebuilt caliper etc
Just a thing the old wings do....right? yeah
Decided to tackle replacing rear tire to save 60-80 bucks and 4 days wait time.
Upon take down I noticed the right rear shock boot is torn up a bit.
Never having done this job, I didn't notice until reassembly that the #*@$$ who did the job FAILED to align the RR bottom shock bolt into that very cleverly designed recess designed...very cleverly to hold the caliper in place while braking.
It would slam against the rear shock. After staring at it a bit, I thought the reality could have been high speed panic brake, slamming forward- and pinching in between the swing arm and tire causing a rear wheel lock up.
fixed and posted for future searches of rear clunk thunk bang clank
