Reasons for the Clicking Noise in Civic Brakes?
1 Answers
There are many reasons for brake noise in the new Honda Civic, such as: excessively hard brake pads. The brake pads are worn down to the metal backing. Excessive wear on the brake discs or drums. Rust on the brake calipers. Faulty handbrake cables. Slow return of the master brake cylinder, etc. Here are some relevant details: 1. If the noise is a squeal, first check if it indicates that the brake pads are nearly worn out (the wear indicator is making noise). If the pads are new, then check for any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and the pad. 2. If the noise is a hissing sound, the issue could be more complex, possibly involving the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. If the noise is continuous, first check for any dragging brakes, as a poorly reset caliper can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pad, leading to noise under certain conditions.
