What causes the clicking sound when stepping on the brake pedal of a car?
1 Answers
Reasons for the clicking sound when stepping on the brake pedal of a car: 1. Excessive wear of brake pads: When a car has been used for a long time, the brake pads may be excessively worn or have foreign objects embedded in them, causing a clicking sound when braking. In this case, the brake pads should be cleaned or replaced promptly. 2. Steering gear damage: If the steering gear boot falls off or other faults cause abnormal brake noise, it is necessary to visit a repair shop for professional inspection and repair. 3. Excessive tire wear: If the tires are excessively worn or have bulges or out-of-round conditions, abnormal noise may also occur while driving. In this case, the tires should be inspected, and if excessively worn, they should be replaced promptly. 4. ABS activation: When the car brakes suddenly, the ABS anti-lock braking system will automatically activate, which may also cause abnormal noise. This is a normal situation.
