While driving my honda accord 2004 model, whenever I step on the brake pedal, I hear a thud sound especially audible at low speed. I have checked all the suspension including the steering rods, the shaft, the ball joints all these seem to be in order. The problem seems to affect the smoothness of driving as well. Kindly help on what might be the problem. Regards, Opeyemi

It sounds like you may have a bad bearing on the inside CV half what that is on the drivers side. It is basically a carrier bearing that bolts to the back of the motor that the cv able slides into. Jack up the car and grab the cv axle beside that ceasing and try to move it up and down. Very much play at all and you wind up with that thumping especially under acceleration.
If you hear an air sound when u push on the brake pedal then its usually the master cylinder. If u can't hear air then you either have a leak in one of your brake lines or there is still air in your brake lines. If that's the case then they need to be bleed out.
your brake pads will be low and will require replacing. the tweet you hear is a small amount of metal built into the pads. when it wears to this amount, metal on metal contact occurs giving you this audible noise. Replace immediately before damage to the discs occur
It sounds like one or both of the drive axle inner joints are worn out. This condition will give a very pronounced vibration on acceleration only and will be worse with increased speed.
hi from uk the only thing i would be concerned about at this moment is the grinding when brakes applied ? this sounds very much like your brake pads are very low and most likely worne to the point of damage(grinding metal to rotor contact) is the sound you hear also the abs will sense this and due to unbalance of braking to each wheel abs will operate however i would have thought your car may have low pads warning indicator light system fitted but may not ? may i suggest considering age and possible high milage of your car ? if you have not had pads inspected recently? you do so asap b4 you drive any distance especially at speed ?
