What Causes the Clicking Noise When Braking?
1 Answers
Braking with a clicking noise can be attributed to the following situations: 1. Sand in the brake disc. It is mostly caused by particles like sand or iron powder entering the brake system, which produces a sharp noise when braking. You can rinse it with a high-pressure water gun during car washing. If that doesn't work, you may need to disassemble and clean it. 2. Overly hard brake pads. The material of the brake pads is relatively hard. Generally, this situation can be ignored as it will improve after some running-in. 3. Severely worn brake pads. If the brake pads are completely worn out, simply replacing them will solve the issue. 4. The source of the brake noise. It could be due to surface aging of the brake pads or sharp edges. Simply grinding the surface and edges of the brake pads can resolve the problem.
