Popping noise from brakes 850

posted by  someone claiming to be mb500e on  Wed Nov 26 20:39 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Somestimes when I am stopped at a stoplight, I hear a strange "pop" sound that seems to come from somewhere in the drivers side wheel well area. I does not happen all the time. Seems to occur more after driving long distances. What could it be?

Also, I am constantly having a problem with getting warped rotors. After 3k-4k, my car will start to shrudder when braking and my stops will be very jerky. Problem goes away when I replace the front rotors. Please help. Have gone through 3 rotors already. I think this problem developed after I ran my front left tire really hard into a curb last year.

    after i went trough 2 sets of warped volvo oem rotors, i switched to zimmerman crossdrilled and they have not warped. also you should use a tourqe wrench to put the lug bolts on, this will reduce the chance of warping.

    The "popping" sound is likely a damaged strut. Warped rotors are usually caused by wheel nuts that have not been properly torqued, or not torqued at all.
