Noises driving me crazy!?

Post by one80 » Tue Sep 12, 2023 9:39 am

I have a 2016 Performance and love almost everything about it, but... it has developed some noises that are driving me crazy.
  • One is a gentle clunk noise on the drivers side front when the car comes to a stop. It clunks once or twice. I don't hear any noises at other times, and it has only recently started. I replaced my calipers and pads not long ago, and have gone back over the bolts etc and can't see anything out of order - may be related, may be coincidental.
  • The other is a creaking on the drivers side window. Seems only to happen when the window is up. Have tried lubricating the seals and felt track as people have suggested but that hasn't helped.
Any glaringly reasons or fixes for this?

I'm no expert on the C7 but would suggest some more info if you're expecting a helpful response.

Front/Back/Inside/Outside/Suspension/wheels/engine/seats etc etc

Check the arb drop links. Can cause knocking noises if work or bolts not tightened correctly

Is a noise linked to rotation or lateral movement? That should help narrow down the issue, i.e. rotor assembly Vs suspension
