S40 V40: - Rear Brake Caliper Knocking

markbaker0827 · Oct 12th, 2008, 23:04

Hi as well as a rattle from my engine (variable valve pulley) so I am told by volvo I also have a really annoying knocking from the nearside brake caliper, this knocking only developed after I changed the rear discs & pads, it was not there before I changed the discs & pads & it is only on the nearside, almost sounds like something is out of balance! Again been to volvo they tell me part of the caliper is seized, they have had a go at repairing it & they tell me it requires a recon caliper. Is this correct? Thanks Mark
