I have a strange knocking sound in the rear right side of my car when I brake but only in the last 10 yards of the braking distance. any ideas..?

ok here is the deal... I picked up a 2002 lincoln LS8 with 20k miles on it. I only drive it 14 miles a day so it dont have much wear and tear. I have had it for almost 2 years and it just hit the 30k mark. 2 weeks ago I heard a strange vibration noise coming from the rear its sounds...

I posted a photo of the door post streaking discoloring in my Photo Garage. any ideas what causes this ...? or how to stop it..? as you can see I wiped the streaking with my finger and the oil from my skin changed it back to black, then after a few hours it came back...

i took it for a drive to have a freind of mine listen to it and i couldn't get it to do it again... so maybe it was bad gas i will update this after i get her on the highway this 4th weekend..

any ideas where I can get a manual if they make one even...? chiltons only has book for 88-2000 lincolns...

update: filled it up with 93 added a bottle of heat added fuel injector cleaner took it for a drive shut the ac off I was moving about 35mph when I punched it and kicked in the passing gear. around 3000-4000 rmp (automatic tranny mode) i heard the noice... the more i listen to it...

thanks for the help i need to do a few more tests. but it only does it when i punch it an push the rpms high. i will look to see what the rpms are and when the ticking starts.

dealer might fill it up with the the right grade but it could be bad quality gas and it could have had crap in it to start with I got it used with under 20k miles. i will burn it dry and start fresh... maybe it even has some water in it...

thanks for the tips I will try the gas thing and see what happens. my wife says her 1997 escort did the same thing but only when the AC was on. haha, escort... good one...!

its seems to be a rapid ticking noise when i punch it... i have not had it long enough to even empty the first tank of gas.. i will look into that also... i might run by the dealer and see what they say since it is still under warrenty. thanks...

greetings... I recently got my hands on a 2002 lincoln ls 3.9 V8 with 20k miles on it, and i love it. I have wanted one for a few years now and I am pretty excited about it... so I found this webpage and figured this is the place to be. I am new to the board and have a quick...
