What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking in a BMW X3?
1 Answers
BMW X3 braking noise reasons are as follows: Brake pad quality: Substandard brake pads can produce abnormal noises during braking and may also damage the brake discs. It is necessary to replace them with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads at an authorized 4S dealership. Foreign objects in brake discs: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris. If a stone gets lodged between the brake pad and disc, it will create noise during braking. Prompt removal of the foreign object is required. Severely worn brake discs: Friction between brake pads and heavily worn brake discs can also generate abnormal sounds. Timely replacement of the brake discs is necessary. Severely worn brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads naturally thin due to continuous friction. Excessively thin pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden in material, causing noise during braking. Immediate replacement of the brake pads is the solution.
