tapping brakes? Sign In

I have a 300m 2004, 80000 miles. When I step on the brakes at over 30mph I hear at tapping sound from the
driver side front area. I changed the pads and had them rechecked. They told me it may be the ABS. Any ideas?
Thanks butchvoz

Can only guess at something like that of course. You replaced pads but what about rotors? Did you have them even cleaned up such as a light machining? Rotors can develop a rust ring on outboard edge and cause a thumping when a piece lets go. It's all guessing from here so far,
