What Causes the Clicking Sound When Reversing?
1 Answers
When reversing, the clicking sound is generally a normal phenomenon. Here are the specific explanations: When moving forward: Since the brake pads are mounted on the brake caliper bracket, under normal circumstances, the brake pads fit tightly against the front end of the bracket in the direction of travel, leaving no gap. Therefore, no abnormal noise occurs when braking while moving forward. When reversing: When the vehicle is moving backward, the direction of travel is opposite, and there is a certain gap between the brake pads and the rear end of the bracket. As a result, when braking, the brake pads may hit the rear end of the bracket, producing a clicking sound. This is a normal phenomenon. Improvement method: Applying a thin layer of grease to the contact points between the brake pads and the brake caliper bracket can help alleviate this issue to some extent. It is important to note that the grease should not be applied to the friction surface of the brake pads or the brake disc, as this could negatively affect braking performance.
