Hey guys. Seems to be a knocking noise at low speed pulling off. Also now I have nice powerful stopping power (280mm brakes) it seems to be unstable at first touch of the brakes at a bit of speed tends to pull slightly but then controlable. Is there anything else this could be? Il be changing the wishbones next week as they appeared worn. Also my ABS crunch at 13mph appears louder...
Any help will be appretiated, it's getting a bit worrying!

check your wheel nuts
brake fluid may need replacing if not already done

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

Could be a sticky brake caliper.
I may be getting older but my right foot still works perfectly.

Hey guys the brake calipers are brand new and i think it may be as i do no have Braided lines on the back but do on the front (will fit back ones this week) The Brake fluid has been changed reciently. Also im going to change the rear shoes as not alot on them so there may be bit of travel on the pedal because of that.

The wheel nuts are tight as normal.
The wishbones are being changed this week if i got enough money.
The ABS crunch is getting really bad need to look into this "problem"
