    Hugo, I’ve also had this noise in the front end. One day my grandson was at the storage building shortly after the trip when I heard the “clunk.” As I pulled the bus out of the storage building the grandson spotted a piece of metal on the garage floor, saying “Papa, what’s this?” I picked it up and it was a piece from the front drum brakes, if I remember it was a partial brake return spring. Anyway, I ordered replacements from Provost to do all the wheels and took the coach to a tour bus operator where I have maintenance issues worked out.

    If you add some information in the signature line, such as model and year of chassis as well as the converter we could possibly provide better help.

    If it is an older solid axle coach it is going to have different suggestions as to the cause from a coach with IFS.

    Hugo, it is best if you create a signature line with that information. Your model year front end is a solid axle and if I heard a noise like a clunk under braking I would look first at bushings in the radius rods.
