What Causes the Clicking Sound When Releasing the Brake?
1 Answers
Introduction to the causes of the clicking sound when releasing the brake: The first scenario is when the sound occurs in a new car: This is a normal situation because, for a new car, the brake pads and brake discs need constant breaking-in. The brake pads may not fully align with the brake discs during braking, and this usually improves after about 500 kilometers or after maintenance. The second scenario is when the brake disc and brake pads stick together due to rust, causing abnormal noise: This typically happens after driving in the rain and then leaving the car unused for several days. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in noise when starting the car again. This can be resolved by applying grease or specialized lubricant to the connection between the brake pads and the brake calipers at a repair shop.
