Uh... what does age have to do with anything here?

I know that it happens. And I still believe it's a stupid reason for abandoning a car.

I'm sorry, but I'd enjoy my car just the same if I didn't know anyone else who owned the same make/model.

so you guys know how awhile back i was saying how my car made a "slapping" noise when i hit the brakes and Milham told me i needed new ones and when they are worn you hear it louder and the tech took me back and showed me. Well I put brand new brakes on and still the same thing is happening again ugh they better figure this out this time.

You should learn to diagnose your own car stuff dude... you shouldn't believe everything a tech says.

Can you tell which side/end of the car the noise is coming from?

TorchedPerfection86

well i know for a fact i needed brakes when i took it in to have them look at it i only had 4 32nds left and i waited a month before i put em on.

The noise is def from the front

No loose hoses, pipes, wires, etc?

TorchedPerfection86

nope

it sounds just like banging metal on metal when i hit the brakes.

but it only happens at slow speed like 2mph
