Brake Noise in Ford Fiesta

[vikalp11]

Hi,
I have been hearing rattling/cluttering noise, whenever I apply brakes.
The noise comes from the front-right side of the car.
I gave my car for service & got this problem rectified last week.(1st service after 7 months-used car-2007 model-purchased in Nov.2012)

The problem was with the ball-&-socket joint. The joint was so loose that holding the ball in my hand & shaking it, the rod used to swing easily. With that I also got the disc machined, for achieving a flat & smooth surface.
I got the ball-&-socket joint replaced with a new pair - the noise stopped by doing both of the above.

Now, after a week, it has again surfaced - though not so loud, but still frequent, as before.
Please help me in identifying the root cause of this problem.
I am worried.

Thanks,
Vikalp Luthra.

Since it’s only been a week after the replacement, I’d go back to the workshop and ask them to get it fixed. After all, that’s what you paid them for during the previous visit.

Drive Safe,
