[Corsa C 2000-2006] When braking feels like a cog slips

[Siobhan]

I have been having a problem when braking but only when I'm braking gently like at a junction. As I am pressing the brakes I feel a small thud that feels like a cog has slipped a tooth. I have had all new brake shoes put on today and I still have the same problem. I have called a couple of garages for advice but no one seems to know what I am talking about, I would be grateful of any help with this

What model is it?

It's definitely not a cog, as there are none in the brakes. Probably a worn part knocking when the weight shifts forward as you brake.

It's a Vauxhall corsa sting 2004, If I brake hard it does not happen it only happens when I'm braking gently

Any idea which direction/corner the noise comes from?

It sounds feels like it is the drivers around the pedals. don't if that is because I can feel it through my foot, you can hear it though. I have had new cv joints and drive shaft fitted about 7 months ago and new brake pads today.

That should say don't know if it is because I can feel it through my foot.

Could be the calliper on the sliders. Try greasing them. If not then probably a worn bush on your suspension. I'm having the same problem with my audi but can't find any issue.

Thank you, think I will have to take it in to a garage so they can find the fault :-)
