Why Does It Make a Clunking Sound When I Step on the Brake?
1 Answers
The reasons for a clunking sound when stepping on the brake are: 1. The sound produced when the ABS anti-lock braking system is in operation; 2. The sound from the solenoid valve of an automatic transmission; 3. The brake pads are installed backward or the model does not match; 4. Both the brake disc and brake pads are high-wear components. Each time the brake is applied, these two parts rub against each other, leading to natural wear over time. When the wear becomes excessive, unusual noises will naturally occur. The brake is a mechanical braking device that slows down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc, slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
