What Causes a Clicking Sound When Releasing the Brake?
1 Answers
It may be caused by the brake disc and brake pads sticking together due to rust, resulting in abnormal noise. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Brake Disc: Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates synchronously with the vehicle's movement. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brake is applied, it clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer effective braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. 2. Brake Pads: Also known as brake linings, automotive brake pads are friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure, creating friction to slow down the vehicle.
