Brakes knock right before coming to complete stop!!!! HELP ASAP!!!
I changed my front pads and rotors today on my 98 a4 2.8 quattro. I am going to be changing the rears tomorrow. I put drilled rotors on the front and new pads. During the change I had an issue with the front passenger side brake caliper piston popping all the way out of its boot and I got all sorts of air in the lines and had to bleed the brakes after I successfully put the piston back into its boot and compressed it. After i was done bleeding the brakes I took the car for a spin to break the brakes in. I was going to make 8 fast complete stops at 30-35mph and then 2 at 40-45mph. Everything was going fine until my 5th stop and right before the car came to a rest there was a loud knock noise that was also felt in the pedal and the ABS light came on along with the brake light blinking and 3 beeps then turned off. The car brakes fine until right before it comes to a complete rest and then it makes that knock sound but the lights don't always flash. The lights flashed one other time on my way home from the break in after the initial issue but I wasn't breaking... I was having the ABS/brake light flash and 3 beeps randomly before I changed my brakes but it was just random occasions. I am very worried about the knock that happens though. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME ASAP! I wont be able to sleep until I get this figured out!
