Reasons for a Clicking Sound When Braking?
1 Answers
Issues such as cracked chassis bushings, ABS system malfunctions, and brake system failures can cause a clicking sound when braking. Here are several scenarios that may lead to a clicking sound when braking: 1. Cracked Chassis Bushings: The chassis consists of numerous components, such as cracked lower arm bushings or aged shock absorber rubber pads, which can cause shaking and noise when braking. Rubber parts tend to deteriorate over time with prolonged use. 2. ABS System Malfunction: The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) typically activates during emergency braking. Under normal light braking, the tires do not lock up, so the ABS remains inactive. When the ABS engages, you may feel a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal. 3. Brake System Failure: This could be due to a brake caliper not retracting properly, resulting in noise each time the brakes are applied.
