Why Does the Car Make a Clicking Sound When Starting and Braking?
1 Answers
This may be the sound generated by the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, which is a normal occurrence and nothing to worry about. Other possible reasons: 1. Excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads: Both the brake disc and brake pads are high-wear components. Every time you brake, these two parts rub against each other, leading to natural wear over time. When the wear becomes excessive, abnormal noises may occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while the brake disc should be replaced every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers. 2. Improper installation of brake pads: If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match, abnormal noises may also occur. In such cases, the brake pads should be reinstalled. When installing brake pads, it is advisable to have the work done at a professional auto repair shop, especially for owners who have had their brake pads replaced at roadside stalls, as this should be given extra attention. 3. Other possible causes: Faults in the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads could all produce this sound. If the noise is continuous, the first step is to check for any dragging brakes. Poor caliper resetting can cause prolonged friction between the disc and the pads, leading to abnormal noises under certain conditions. Additionally, if there are foreign objects on the brake pads or brake disc, this could also result in abnormal noises.
