What causes a clunking sound when starting after braking?
1 Answers
This is caused by the brake disc and brake pads sticking together due to rust, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is additional information: 1. Function of brake pads: To ensure better coordination between the brake pads and brake disc, maintain the proper operation of the braking system, and restore normal braking performance. 2. Brake disc maintenance methods: Develop good driving habits, avoid sudden braking, regularly inspect the brake pads and brake disc, check the thickness of the friction material, have a professional inspect the brake shoes, and use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provided brake pads and discs when replacing. 3. Conditions for replacing the brake disc: When the thickness of the brake disc is less than the minimum maintenance standard allowed by the vehicle manufacturer or when the wear indicators on the brake disc come into contact with the disc.
