Single knock while braking

Post by palkama »

Hello guys, I need some help.
I have a single knock while braking – a bit closer: I am driving forward and break to full stop , and then starting to drive reverse, at this moment when I first time touch the break I can hear single knock. Same is when I drive reverse and stop the car, then drive forward, first time I touch the break I can hear same knock.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Can you give a location for the knock?

If the noise is coming from the front of the car, I would look first at the strut rod bushings. Also, don't confuse the strut rods with the strut assemblies as they are different parts.

BTW, what year, model and mileage?
