Man i have this same noise! pretty much only when i almost come to a stop and am braking. If i jack the car up you can't reproduce the noise. It's annoying only because people are like, wtf was that?

..subscribed to this one. i NEED to know

 

Do you have RCAs?

 

whats going on bro did you ever figure it out? where in ny you located maybe i can help you take a look

 

Nothing yet.. And I'm in Westchester. Going to try and remove my RCA and see if it still makes it.

Check your brake dust shield.

Ok. Did you check the sway bar end links? I should of listened to LUXURYGS3 .. I forgot to check them and so did my mechanic. He called me and told me he forgot to check them. Tomorrow I will check them, hopefully thats the problem.

 

I'm having the same issue with my 01 GS430, so I took the GS to my local Big O Tires and they inspected all the suspension components and they also couldn't find where the popping sound is coming from.

 

man, that sounds like someone hitting a steel plate with a hammer

 

I have the same issue with my 02 GS300. Had a mechanic check it out and he figured that it is the brakes. I get the sound when I back out of garage in the morning - first time I apply the brakes....CLUNK. Then after I shift in to drive...the first time I apply the brakes...CLUNK. Seems the brake pads shift. Sound doesn't come again until I apply the brakes again in the opposite direction of travel. He checked all suspension components and everything is fine. Unfortunately he doesn't have a solution.

 

^ hmm, i have always felt it was like a crappy brake pad or brake issue

 

If the brakes are really the problem it gives all GS owners a reason to upgrade to the LS brake setup. Haha
