What Causes the Thud Sound When Braking?
2 Answers
The reasons for the thud sound when braking are: 1. The sound produced by the ABS system in operation. ABS is the anti-lock braking system of the car, which only activates during emergency braking; 2. The sound from the braking system, which is produced by the transmission solenoid valve; 3. Loose components in the car's chassis. If the thud sound also occurs during light braking, or if the vehicle does not have an automatic transmission lock button and the sound persists or occurs intermittently, then it is important to pay attention. It is highly likely that there is a fault in the braking system or a loose connection in the chassis. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the owner take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible.
Every time I step on the brake, I hear a clunking sound. I've personally experienced this, and it's truly annoying. I remember when I first bought the car, I drove on a muddy road in the suburbs, and the problem appeared when I parked afterwards. It's probably because a stone got stuck between the brake pads or they rusted, causing the parts to make strange noises when pressed. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but later the braking distance became longer, and I almost rear-ended someone. Later, when I took it to the repair shop for inspection, the mechanic said a simple cleaning would fix it, but if left unattended for a long time, the wear would increase, and it would cost more to replace the parts. Usually, you can pay more attention to cleaning the wheel area, especially after rain, to prevent dirt from accumulating. In short, don't take brake problems lightly. Safe driving is the most important thing, so get it checked as soon as possible.
