What Causes the Clicking Sound When Steering While Reversing?
1 Answers
Experiencing a clicking sound when steering while reversing is a normal backlash noise and does not indicate a vehicle malfunction. The brake pads are mounted on the caliper bracket, and under normal conditions, they fit tightly against the forward-facing end of the bracket without any gap, so no noise occurs when braking while moving forward. However, when reversing, the direction of movement is opposite, creating a slight gap between the brake pads and the rear end of the bracket. During braking, the brake pads may impact the rear end of the bracket, resulting in the clicking sound.
