What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking in a Cayenne?

[BrynleeDella]

Here are the reasons why a Cayenne may produce a clicking sound when braking: 1. Excessive wear on brake discs and brake pads: Both brake discs and brake pads are high-wear components that experience friction with each brake application. Over time, wear naturally occurs, and when excessive, it can lead to abnormal noises. 2. Improper installation of brake pads: If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or are of the wrong model, abnormal noises may also occur. Reinstalling the brake pads may resolve the issue. 3. Other possible causes: Generally, faults in components such as the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads can produce this noise. If the noise persists, check for dragging brakes, as poor caliper reset can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pad, leading to abnormal noises under certain conditions. Additionally, foreign objects on the brake pads or discs can also cause abnormal noises.
