    Hey guys,

    I can't really search for this problem in the forums so I might as well ask again. I have a 97' VTi Accord and every time I hit the break, slowdown and just when I'm about to stop completely I hear this "TOK" sound coming from the front of the car. This sound only comes out if I used the car for more than 45 minutes, so I guess it's related to the car getting really warmed up. So far I got my some parts changed/checked in my suspension system like stab link, shocks, rack end, and upper/lower arms and they all seem to check out, meaning all the rubber parts are ok and have no sign or wear and tear. Could the pros of the industry give me some advice as to what other problems I have in my suspension?

    thanks a bunch

    Check your brake pads, calipers, and related items nearby. For me, pad replacement was necessary. Replace your retaining pin/clips with new ones para safe.

    Worn rubber parts would give a squishy sound, like rubbing between the parts. How is the ball joint?

    you sure its "tek" not "tok" j/k.Anyway, its hard to diagnose it on the net you really need to see it on person to diagnose it properly.Bring it to reputable mechanic.

    Have your brakes checked-up. I experienced that "tok" sound before. When the front left brake was checked, there was a loose bolt.

    Have your brakes cleaned. I had done that when I experienced the same problem and it was gone.
