    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    Yep, I believe it is the calipers (?) shifting in the housing of the brakes. Something to do with shims used in the brake assembly. In order to "fix" it, they had to install new brakes, couldn't just install replacement shims. Interesting thing though, my car is starting to make the noise again...

    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    It only happens when the brakes are applied. Otherwise, if I just drive off in the current direction no noise is heard.

    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    Does it happen on your CX-7? Well, after a while I have two developments to report. The first is that I can now recreate the sound consistently. I'll describe it below and it would be great if some of your here wouldn't mind trying it out to see if your CX-7 does it. Start-up the car, put it...

    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    @offset_98: Thanks for the suggestion. It could be... my struts have developed the "creaking/moaning" sound as the car takes dips and bumps in the road. Second time this has happened (within a year of previous strut replacement). However, the clank/clunk/snap noise only happens with braking...

    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    Hey erhayes Thanks for replying. If it's the pads can they do anything about it? I'll be having my tires rotated this fall, so they'll be off and can look at the brakes. I checked the wheel lugs, they're secure. But I'll check again. Thanks!

    Clank/clunk noise, very intermittent

    Hi Guys From time-to-time, my 2007 GT-AWD CX-7 will make a clank/clunk noise which comes from the front-end. It happens in the following cases: 1) Car has been parked, I drive forward just a few feet (e.g. to the stop sign at the end of my street), I start to press on the brake and...

    Whoops, sorry for the extremely late reply. I neglected to put e-mail notifications on. In any case, you can use steering wheel controls or iPod.

    FS: NeoCarAudio iPod Adapter

    It's not difficult to install, but you do need to pull the radio out to patch it into the back (where the satellite would normally plug into). You have to remove the silver trim around the radio/console area (that's about the most difficult part to do, just because if you're not careful you can...

    FS: NeoCarAudio iPod Adapter

    Just received it last week and I find it (along with the Mazda one) a bit on the clunky side. It all works. Looks like I'll have to go with a head unit replacement... oh well. I paid $193 shipped from NeoCarAudio. Selling for $135 (USD/CDN) shipped (I will ship with tracking, UPS or Canada Post...

    Clunking noise when braking...

    I've now had the vehicle for a week with the new front sway bar bushings and... The clunking is reduced but not totally gone. Without testing a minty-new CX7 I can't say whether the noises I hear now are just the norm or not. @jmhumr The scrunching noise going over speed bumps at low speed...

    Clunking noise when braking...

    Hey Guys Turns out, hopefully, that the klunking I'm hearing when braking is from the front sway bar bushings. The 7 is going in tomorrow to have them replaced. The car has also be clunking when turning (at low speeds) and going over speed bumps at low speeds. Hopefully they do the trick...
