Weird noise when braking (2001 C5 Corvette), need help asap! I have a weird noise that I hear upon braking.
I lowered my vehicle a few days ago on stock bolts and a day or so after (so about two days ago), I started hearing this creaking type noise when I brake lightly. Upon firm or heavy braking, say if you are going at a 35 cruise and you see a yellow light and need to stop pretty quickly, you don't hear the sounds at all. I turned my radio off and listened as closely as possible and it sounds like the noise is coming from the right rear of the vehicle.
The noise sounds like when you press your ear against someone's chest and hear their heart beat. DUH DUM, DUH DUM.....
The slower and slower you go, the further and further the "duh dum" sounds get spaced out. Would the problem be something brake related or maybe loose sway bar end links, or should I just spray wd-40 everywhere?
