When brake rotors get machined, more often than not, less than 1mm is taken off.

Hmmmm....This is a Toyota...not a Ford

. And it has only around 110,000 on the clock!

I've been driving Toyotas for over 35 years and if I count my kids and late father, we have owned over 40 of them(there are 10 in my posession alone at the moment! + the kids have 3 more). We have not yet had to have a disc machined, but if I keep buying them...I guess sooner or later i'll have to get one done

andyjz....yes, i'm thinking along those lines at the moment and it will be the first check i do when the car returns on the weekend. Thanks.

Has anybody thought about wheel balance? Driving on grave every day, could cause the weights to come off... I've had that happen due to poor weight installation.

Kluger is not as sensative to weight being out of balance, but will cause resonance from about 80 to 100Km/hr.

The AW11 MR2... I loose a weight, and you will instantly feel it and Hear it...

Also, check out your suspension... possible worn shock. Also, check various components around that area... possible bolt/nut that could have made itself loose through daily gravel road.

By the way... did this come on gradually, or all of a sudden? If all of sudden, what was the cause or what happened to bring this on all of a sudden?

just some thoughts...

MIKE.

Well...it seems like we might have solved this problem....f#@=x*g Roof Racks

Cross bars actually...the car has the standard rails on the roof and someone(not me) fitted a couple of Supercrap cross bars to them at xmas time to cart some extra luggage!

No noise with luggage or later,a ladder, but with nothing at all...you guessed it...weird noise.

Still can't work out how three people, (myself included) reckoned the noise was coming from the lower front of the car

Like they say...you're never too old to learn something

Thanks to all for your genuine attempts to help solve this
