What Causes the Clicking Sound When Pressing the Brakes?
1 Answers
Reasons for the clicking sound when pressing the brakes are as follows: 1. New car or newly replaced brake pads: It's normal for new cars or newly replaced brake pads to make noise initially, as the friction surfaces haven't fully matched yet. The sound will automatically disappear after driving a few hundred kilometers for proper break-in. 2. After getting wet from rain: Brake pads, mostly made of iron, can rust when exposed to rain, causing noise when braking. The sound will go away once the rust is worn off. 3. Brake pad configuration issues: Abnormal brake pad configuration may include incorrectly installed brake pads, missing screws or components, brake pads that are too small and don't match the friction surface, or the use of cheap brake pads.
