Great video!! Love the added subtitles of your afterthoughts, the fact you have replied to almost if not all comments shows what kind of man you are, need more like you, thanks
Thanks Will - Cheers from Canada!
What. A. Hero. My Santa Fe has had rattling front pads for years. I usually use lots of copper grease but that washes off after a short while. Took the pads off today, bent those tabs in a bit and put everything back together. No rattles. No clonks. No more getting annoyed over rough roads. Thank you very much, from the UK.
Good to hear SFK - well done - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you for this video. I was going crazy about this same noise until I came across your video. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks Joe - Cheers from Canada!
You're the best I thought maybe I installed the new pads wrong or the caliper was coming loose. You're a life saver!!!!
Anytime Detombe - Cheers from Canada!
I took my wheel off recently, cleaned the shims which i reused because the new ones kept touching and were annoying and i noticed it stopped then came back, i hadnt adjusted anything.
Worth a check again and following your tips, thank you from Alberta
Abee - Bend the clips a little to put more pressure on the pads - that might fix it - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you so much! Just recently did a brake job and had this problem. Extremely helpful
Anytime Nick - cheers from Canada!
Thank you for this video. I just started to have this issue crossing into Detroit from Windsor. I thought I over heated my brakes during the long drag down the ambassador bridge. I checked all my tie rods, springs, suspension parts. I checked all the bolts on the caliper itself and slide pins...I guess this is likely the culprit. I'll have to give your trick a try because the Toyota clips are some what spring loaded and I imagine the salt and thaw recently is making this issue more pronounced
Anytime - let me know how it works out - thanks - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you so much for this video may give me another clue to solve my rear clicking/clunking noise. I've changed the sway bar bushings, links and rear shock absorbs but the noise still annoying me.... thank you again.
Great to hear - hope it helps - let me know - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you very much!!! This "click" sound has been bugging me for weeks and can't find the root cause! I just checked it's very little play of one of pad. Unfortunately my toyota shim is not that easy to bent to fix it, I guess as far as it does not drop the breaking performance, I let it go. Subscribed!
Well done Ethan - Cheers!
I replaced the caliper pad retaining springs which fixed the clicking on my calipers, different to yours by looks of it. The springs go weak over time which causes the outboard pad to move back and forth making the annoying clicking sound.
I've been chasing this problem on my Toyota Tacoma for over a year. Checked tie rods, sway bar, struts, anything that moves, but no cigar. Finally, this past weekend, I put new brakes on the thing. Did a good cleaning on all moving parts, replaced pads, and those freakin' shims. No more click. I owe you a beer!
Thanks Rob - Scotch please - Cheers!
This just started for me today I think or I just noticed it today haha cuz I had the radio off so I was able to hear it for the first time today .. subbed for this
Thanks X - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you from a fellow Canadian... This has been driving me nuts. I noticed the Bosch brake pads I installed on my rear discs were looser than they should be (maybe a millimeter of play), despite being correct specs on paper. Every time I fully stop (unless I stop really really gently) I get a clunk. Will give this a try!
Hope it works Cheers from Canada
Thanks for you video man , soon i try fix this problem , god bless you man love from Malaysia 💯
Anytime Ahmad - let me know what happens - Cheers from Canada!
Great info, thanks! Just got new pads and rotors, a few days later and I’ve got an intermittent click. I already let the mgr of the shop know, he said they’ll look at them when they put on a new tire. Supposedly the pads exceed OEM. Like you said, anything can happen.
They didn't click when new - and all things being equal shouldn't click upon replacement - also being an OEM part is not the same as "meeting OEM specs"
@@carquestions yeah, I’m normally an OEM-only guy. Mighta gotten burned this time. Will pursue.
Hey Man,
You are awesome, I had a same issue on my Camry 2015. Brake calipper pin is the issue applied the grease and tightened the sound gone away 😂. Thank you.
Anytime Cheers!
Yup! 2023 pathfinder has the same noise from driver side. I took a video then took it to multiple dealers and they couldn’t figure it out. They said nothing wrong with it and they could not replicate the noise. I am glad that the noise not in my head and someone else figured it out. Thanks!
Anytime - love to help - Cheers from Canada!
2023 ford escape here! same issue.
Thanks for the info Pro - Cheers from Canada!@@verlie01
Are you sure this is what is causing it? I have a 2023 Pathfinder too and it makes this noise: ruclips.net/user/shorts5DfVCDicacA?si=HM6ylK44G1Ze3pgb
It isn't the brake pads.
Dealership can't figure it out. I am preparing the Lemon Law paperwork.
@@gary_neilson1896 What solved the issue for me is that I took it to a different dealership and they adjusted the brake pads. Not sure what does that mean but the first dealership was not able to figure it out even after two days of leaving the car there. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Thank you very much for the video. My mechanic replaced something unnecessarily. After watching and checking the car, I saw that was my problem. He replaced the stabilizer bar bushings for no reason at all.
Sorry Eddy - happens all the time -
My mechanic wanted to go straight into the transmission lol
@@LokeronXAmor a lot of people get taken like that sadly
Can this noise happen when driving low speed over speed bumps on a straight road?? No mechanic can solve the issue for me it’s the same noise but now when braking
@@BranBran241 check your caliper bracket bolts. Should have two if one is broken or loose it will have that noise. Especially in reverse or going over a bump in the road
Like many here I've been fixing all kinds trying to get to the cause of this very frustrating clicking/tapping. It exactly matches the sound I'm hearing as I drive and it stops when I apply the brakes. Sometimes I can go for hours and then it starts. Sometime only very subtle and other times very loud but very intimitant. I'll try this as I think you could well be on to something.
Let me know how you make out JWS - Cheers from Canada!
excellent insight. Gives me things to try anyway! Thank you
Anytime Jonny - Cheers from Canada!
On most rav 4's of this era, there are supposed to be additional spring clips that attatch to the top and bottom of each pad to prevent the movement. If your new pads dont have them when doing your brakes, you may have to transfer the old clips to the new pads
Very good advice indeed Haydon - Cheers - the car in the video was an EX35
thank you so much for the video, it just helped me with my breaks
Anytime - Cheers from Canada!
Thank you car questions we learn everyday 👍👍👍🙏
Anytime Mark - Cheers from Canada!
I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKES ON MY G37 LOL. PERFECT VIDEO
Not a question, but a statement for anyone in a similar situation: I have a 2013 BMW and I just got my rotors turned because my rear brake pads had gone out and my wear sensor had been severed a while ago (without my knowledge). So one of the pads was ruining one of the rotors and I decided to take care of all of them to make sure they were fine. When I was putting my brakes back on it's possible I messed up the clips holding my brakes in place and they're just slightly bent. I was mostly worried about this being a problem for braking but I'm glad it's not too serious and that I can DIY fix this.
Thanks for the info SG - Cheers from Canada!
A true backyard mechanic, there must be a dozen or more ways to fix this much better, weld a little to the end of the pad and file it down as needed, add more shim as this is why shims were invented, epoxy behind the existing shim to take up some space, etc.
All true Duane - cheers from Canada!
My noise started shortly after new pads fitted I think cheap after market pads are the cause , these are strange pads oem pads dust was black these new pads is almost pinky purple .great video perfect explanation.
I agree Adrian - thanks and cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions do you think apart from the cluck sound they won’t cause any safety issues though the noise is worse in reverse . All the best from 🇬🇧 Uk
@@adriancarter825 This problem is an annoyance only - does not affect braking - Cheers
@@carquestions thank you , I will turn the radio up 😂
I work on Toyota's and most of the brake pads on them come with a little metal clip that goes on the "ears" of the pads that work as a spring and a squealer. It basically pre-loads the pads so they don't move and cause that click, don't know if other manufactures have that but yeah a lot of the time people forget to put them on or lose them by accident during a brake job because they like to fly when you remove them lol
Good advice Kongito - thanks - Cheers from Canada!
Am checking my truck tomorrow is making alot of noise exactly like this video rattle loose noise ,thanks good video
Could be the caliper itself - very common - try wiggling it to see if it moves - it shouldn't
Great video! Cheers Canada from Manchester UK, , got a similar problem in the right front brakes. Got a new caliper and new clips. Changing the caliper cause is old and rusty and had to change my left one cause it was seizing. So i want to have new calipers in the front of the car. Got new rotors and pads all the way around. I'll let you know if was a success. Your info was great, Thank you!!!!!! 2005 toyota corolla 3 door 1.4 4zzfe engine.
Thanks Marco - let me know for sure how it works out - Cheers from Canada!
I think it's the shims and the lack of grease on the back of the pad. They have a special grease that is included for the back of the pads. If you don't use it (or your installer kept it for himself/herself) then it makes this clunking sound. Also, that grease can dry up and then you get a clunking, too.
Grease reduces or eliminates squealing mostly
Thx. Next time I could let you borrow some pliers for those mounts & shims😁also, sometimes there's a problem when both sides of caliper aren't engaged as likely aware some attention to cylinder along with guide pins & bushing getting clean & lube. There are some quieting methods using a cmpd that is different consistency & properties than greases which seems to dampen noise when correctly applied, that's idea but haven't used when shims adjusted should work.
All good advice Frank - Cheers from Canada!
I just did this today and so far I don’t hear anymore popping/noise. Thank you!
Good to hear Tom - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions You’re the man 👍🏽
Thanks for this video. I have a 2007 Tacoma and it's making the exact same noise and found that the outer pads/shims didin't have grease between the breake shim and the brake pads. After applying a lot of the grease between the two, the noise is gone. I think the grease act as an adhesive and the previous mechanic didn't use any.
I'd get the OE shims for sure - Cheers from Canada Sage!
OEM definitely. Thanks
When I removed the existing shims, I noticed there were no grease on them, thus they were sliding just a tiny bit causing that sound. This time, I made sure I applied extra plenty of grease on all shims, and the sound is gone. It felt so good to get rid of that annoying sound. Cheers!!
Good to hear@@Sagemeister007
Thank you so much for your video very good information to know Kudosto you have 😊🙏🙏
Thanks Marilyne nice of you to say - Cheers from Canada!
When ever i brake it makes this loud clicking noise but my breaks work fine
This noise won't affect brake function other than it makes a small noise - it shouldn't be a loud noise - have the brakes checked again - let me know what happens - Cheers from Canada!
Wow so that’s the culprit!!
I have the same problem, recently changed the braked pads and rotors and now I hear that loud click when I press on the brake to back out of the driveway. I will check tomorrow to do this fix, thank you for the video.
Good luck TP - let me know what happens - Cheers!
I tried to move mine and its not loose like yours on your video. I dont know if i needed to put new pads but i just bought those pads march 2022 and they still have decent thickness. I dont know what to do.Appreciate your feeback.
Well the brakes will still work perfectly so if you don't mind the moise forget it - Also your click could be due to other suspension problems not brake related - let me know what you find - Cheers from Canada!
Thanks for video! That's such a small problem and it gets the car sound like a shitbox.
Yep - you're right - Cheers Stefan
I bent the locking tabs on the break pads out slightly and it worked. Must have bent them a little trying to install causing them to become loose as the pad wore down.
THANKS!
anytime blink cheers from Canada
Thanks for the helpful video. My car is still newish (2020 Toyota with 24K KMs) and I recently started hearing the exact same noise as in the video, except I hear the click every time the wheels turn and slow down only during braking like a fast clock (click-click-click-click). Could that be the same issue and the pads/shims need adjusting due to rust?
It could be that or some other suspension component link like a away bar link or track bar, control arm, parking brake etc - you need to get under that car and start moving them around with a big bar to figure it out Commander - let me know what you find - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions Thanks buddy! I will give those parts a look. If not, I'll let my second mechanic diagnose the issue. One local mechanic already said it was warped/rusted rotors but I find that hard to believe as they looks pretty clean.
Greetings from Ontario, Canadian brother!!
My Lexus UX 2022 has exactly same problem. Dealer has no clue what's making the noise. The tik tik tik under light braking coming from a front right wheel, really annoying.
Your dealer needs to do some good old fashion fixing - tell him to change out the pads or Shim them somehow to see if the click goes away - Cheers from Canada!@@dirtyp0rnstars
2017 Honda civic with new brake pads. When reversing and hit the brake it makes a click loud noise from the rear left tire. I applied some grease and it help for a day or two and now the sound came back
Need to get a better fitting set of brake pads Aria - Cheers from Canada!
I recently replaced both front calipers and pads and I get a “clunk” type of sound when I put my foot on the pedal when coming to a stop. I hear the sound more when I release the pedal. !
I don’t hear the sound when pumping the pedal when the car is not moving. Hmmm. I’m gonna check this out. Thanks for posting.
What did you find? - Cheers!
The only thing that seems odd is that there seems to be a lot of play back and forth in the caliper, I can move the caliper slightly by pushing on it. The passenger side doesn’t have this play. I’m thinking that somehow the driver side caliper is out of spec. I haven’t replaced it yet, getting used to it I guess but it is annoying.
@@djwak59 caliper bracket bolts check both of them
Hello. So my car makes that noise while driving at low speeds without touching by my brakes. Brakes work fine but I can feel the noise when im pressing the gas pedal as well.
Inspect all brake parts very closely
Hello. I have a 2007 Hunchback Toyota Yaris that is doing that on the rear wheel. Now, as far as mechanics have told me, Yaris has no rear wheel anti rattle clips/shams (or not like the ones on the video. they are more like a wire, which I have). The pad moves left and right a bit and it's causing some noise. What can I do to stop it?
Put some high temp silicone on the back to stick it - check for products on google
This could also happen with some crappy aftermarket pads if you file the ears a bit to much off the brake pads ,to make them fit ,if to tight when installing better , if you do this they will be loose as well
Gonna try this! Thank you
Zach - did it work? good luck and Cheers!
My prius makes a clink noise when even i brake or come to a stop. My bads are ok sor are the calipers. Could it be the cv joints.
If CV joints - drive the car slowly in tight circles listening for any noise -
working on a 2013 740Li and hear clicking when slowing down changed brakes rotors and driver side wheel bearing and still hear clicking hope this helps me because I bought aftermarket break pads so that might be the problem thanks for the video
Could also be a bad CV joint - what did you find Devin? - good luck - Cheers from Canada!
yesss exactly my problem thank you 🙏🏽
You're so welcome! - Cheers from Canada!
Must be nice to have old break technology with bendable shims ... these new calipers / pads have play like you wouldnt believe due to un calculated tight tolerance
So if the brake pad had some play it will be able to make a thud or clunk noise ?
exactly right Angel - it is just shifting around - Cheers!
Thank u after replacing my frontend it started doing that. Could figure it out til ur great vid!
Thanks for the comment Kush - Cheers from Canada!
I learned this by accident when I needed to replace my super worn brakes. All those noises went away
I have an issue nobody seems to address. I replaced my rear pads and rotors one year ago on my 05 Town Car. I started hearing a squeal at less than 8k miles and thought maybe they needed more grease. What I found was the left pads were like new as expected. The right pads however were worn past the wear indicators. Very even wear and no tapering. The piston and guide pins on both sides move freely. What would make the right pads wear out so quickly?
Did you replace the pad yourself. Sounds like the old one may have been put back in lol
It was a frozen piston. New caliper solved the problem.
Thanks for the video. Would it be perfectly fine to drive without fixing it?
If it is the problem I describe then yes its safe to drive Jong - Cheers from Canada!
What if I don't have shims? Can I add high temp epoxy to the ends of the pad ears? Any help is appreciated.
sure try it - bend the shims around a bit also might hold the pad tighter
my car is making a similar noise, started off like this & now it happens when i’m at 30-40mph. dealership charged me $2k for repairs that haven’t fixed it. new front control arms, tie rods, and sway bar links & still doing it. it kind of makes me steering wheel lock up. i drove my car down to florida from iowa, i don’t know if this is the issue but i don’t have many options. can someone help me out? i leave on the 14th

Thank you so much. I think this is my problem
Anytime - Cheers!
Hi, I have a 2014 mustang gt. I been having several issues for the mast 4 months. For starters, I had gone like 3 new rotors and pads and don’t seem to stop the squealing and now every time I break I hear a big click noise by the passenger wheel. Took it to a ford shop and they can’t find the issue. They said suspension is fine and control arms are fine. Any idea what it can be? Thanks in advance.
Jose - this may sound wrong to you but you're a victim of stupid mechanics even though its a Ford dealer who should know their cars better than anyone - they often don't. There are a million reasons like they caused the problem and don't want you to find out - best advice - take it to a local garage this noise should be fairly easy to find - let me know what they say - cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions thank you so much!! Have a blessed day!
buy an obd2 scanner
My car have the same problem too. The pads are snug in place, but it still making the annoying noise 3 out of 10 times. I’ll try wrapping the brake pad ends with some tape, see if it will work.
KM - tape will melt because of the heat - try tin foil - Cheers from Canada!
Lifesaver!!! Why is the clicking noise only happening at lower speeds and so intermittent???
Lot of factors in play VVB - speed friction etc - Cheers from Canada!
@carquestions Thanks! I took it to a mechanic yesterday. I wqs aure they'd say it was the shims, however, the discovered that bolts for the stuts (recently) put on were loose!! The tightened them with alleviated the peoblem...or ao I thought. I don't hear theclicking noise as much but there is still a light clicking noice when I appl the brakes SOMETIMES. This is really frustrating!

We changed the brakes on my brothers car a few weeks back. He just told me it was ticking when he brakes until he comes to a complete stop. I’ll check this when I can and see if it’s the issue. Thanks.
Jake - its a minor issue and not safety related - just annoying because some idiot doesn't know how to make a brake pad the right size
@@carquestions Yeah, I figured. He said they’re braking fine and nothing seems off with the pedal or anything. From what he says, it sounds like the same issue you showed in the video. We’ll see though.
I hear that noise on the front left side of the car. It sounds exactly like that. So I’m going to get my brakes checked. Thanks
Let me know what they find Corey - Cheers!
I got same noise but when i accelerate my car after break, it disappears when I'm driving on high speed. My car is approx 33k kms driven. I can't figure it out the noise but it came from right front wheel, and for clarification we have ride side driven vehicles. Hoping for your answer. Cheers.
Khalil - maybe the same problem so check front brake pads carefully - switch them from side to side to see if the noise moves. Cheers from Canada!
Halving the same issue. Just got my control arms fix day later I started hearing the clicking/pop noise. Goes away at high speed but when I brake or accelerate I hear it

Anytime DJ - Cheers from Canada!
If I am fine with the noise and don’t do anything about it will my brakes be fine? If this is the issue
Yes - your brakes will stop your car as well as they ever did no problem - it's just a noise, there is no effect on braking. Cheers from Canada!
Could this be the issue to my car it makes a similar noise when going on a straight path over a pot hole or bump. No mechanic can resolve my issue they say the suspension is fine 🤧
TheWan - you need a better grade of mechanic - someone who knows how to experiment on a car - if there is a noise - it isn't "fine" - Cheers from Canada!
Great info
Anytime Ed - Cheers from Canada!
Thanks it was helpful
Anytime Juan - Cheers from Canada!
I had to use the OEM shims. New ones are produced very bad. Specifically Auto zone ones.
Good tip DJ - Cheers from Canada!
Would that also possibly cause a click when hitting a small bump at low speeds, it seems like it might. The noise sounds a little bit different than the one I get when I brake. My truck has original pads after 6 years, time and wear causing the looseness too? I am looking forward to seeing if it's this issue. Thanks.
BB - it certainly could be but it could be a number of other things as well - ball joints, strut mounts, caliper lose etc. - need a close inspection of the front end - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions Thanks
@@carquestionsthis will tighten the brakes pads, and it will not be sliding on the shims, so that will be a problem for the rotors and brakes, i think if its not sliding back and forth, easily?

My GL550 made exactly same noise and we found the exactly same issue i.e. the brake pad (front right - inner pad) was making this noise. But in my GL550 there is no shim. My brake pads and rotors are just 2 days old. They are BREMBO pads. How to deal with this situation? I again changed a new brembo pad but same issue..
Put some tin foil on one end of the pad - after a while hopefully a bit of rust develops and fills the gap stopping the noise - or buy OE pads - Cheers - let me know what happens.
@carquestions Thank you so much.. I will try that and let you know.. thanks for your help and thanks for such a wonderful and informative content..
@carquestions hi, I purchased OE pads from Mercedes and installed the pads. Now the clicking noise still there but it's not loud like the Bramboo pads. A very slight click still there.. but hardly I can hear it with windows down.. May be I should ignore it now.. I changed pads 3 times in few weeks.. LOL..

Maybe someone can help me. I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. I've recently noticed a strange intermittent clicking coming from underneath the truck. (not hemi tick) The sound is only present from 0-25 mph and it is very faint. It does not sound like a cv or anything like that. It will literally start for a few seconds and then I can accelerate a bit and it stops. I was thinking maybe a shield or something was vibrating as I do have meaty 33's but that wasn't it. If someone has had a similar issue, please help. Could it maybe be faulty abs trying to engage? Thanks.
I may have the same problem on my 92 bronco. When I press gas or press brakes it stops.I had an unlicensed mechanic do my brakes and ever since its had that clicking at under 25 mph drives me crazy. when i pull into a parking lot it sounds like a gear wheels grinding on a bell. :( good luck with your dodge tho.

Yes Hansell - anytime moving the car forward or backward the first time in the day - Cheers from Canada!
Not sure this is also an issue, but I purchased new front rotors for my 2003 Lexus ES300. After I installed them, I could hear a click whenever I applied my brakes. Initially, I thought the pads were moving. However, I placed my phone under the car (up on jack stands) and recorded the wheel. It turned out that the stud holes in the rotors were significantly larger than the studs. When the brakes are applied the rotors would stop first and the studs would then click against the rotor stud holes. No amount of lug tightening would get rid of it. Holes were just too big. Parts supplier said rotors are OEM, which I do not believe. Tolerances are not there.
You have a nut torque issue for sure - Mark the hat of the rotor to the rim - if you're right the alignment marks will shift when braking - if not then you have another issue - no way that rim shouldn't clamp the rotor tight - let me know what you find - Cheers from Canada Scott!
That doesn't make much sense. The rotors are clamped tight by the lut nuts when the wheels are installed.
I’m having this same clicking noise issue with my Lexus IS right now. I took the wheel off and the first thing I seen was the wheel studs were not at all centered onto the studs, I took the caliper off and recentered the rotor in the studs, put the caliper and wheel back on and torqued it to spec… still clicks. However, I didn’t check the other side…
It is strange that the holes on the rotors don’t center onto the wheel studs .
Have this issue currently i had my driveshaft carrier go out so i changed that then still heard what sounded like a bird chripping in my wheel
Anthony - You need to find a better mechanic - the squeak in or near a wheel can be diagnosed by any competent mechanic - could be a wheel bearing, backing plate rubbing, brake pads etc - let me know what they find - Cheers from Canada!
You safe me , thanks
Anytime Mohamed - Cheers from Canada!
I am so frustrated. I get that exact noise from my driver's side front. Took the tire off and caliper and brake pads were solid. It won't make the sound when backing. Only driving forward then braking. Don't want to take it to a shop if its something simple. They would probably just create an expensive fix.
Eric - put the old pads back on the trouble side - if you don't have them swap the new ones left to right one pad at a time looking for a change - let me know what happens please - Cheers from Canada!
Mine makes a click noise when I brake or when I accelerate do you know what it may be ? The mechanic wants me to change the pads and brake discs he thinks it’s that spent £300 on it and still can’t get rid of the noise what do you think it may be when I accelerate every time it makes click noise or when I brake it makes a click noise
Usman - very simple - you need a master mechanic not a guy who guesses - you are paying for a specific problem to be fixed - if the mechanic misdiagnoses it you shouldn't pay - next time tell them no guessing - fix or I'm not paying - also the clicking can be one of over 20 different parts - pads are one but rotors are not. - let me know what happens - Cheers from Canada!
Why are you asking on the internet unless you plan to fix it yourself? You've already paid a qualified professional to remedy the issue. It's a noise the mechanic can easily recreate, which is a big hurdle already cleared. Are you sure it's a mechanic and not your neighbour or something?
Bleed your brakes, if u got air in the line that’s why it’s clicking pads and rotors won’t change anything
@@sir6591 Interesting theory - just how does the air make a brake pad "click" - love to hear the explanation
@@carquestions if your car is in park and u hitting your brakes not in motion and u hear the click when u put the pedal down it’s air in the line. Don’t try to do that like u know it all when u giving false information the whole video. Telling folks their pads aren’t supposed to move… that’s considered seized.
Hope that's the case in my car too.
Love from India.
Let me know if it is - Cheers from Canada!
Im going to try this. I changed the control arms and had to take one brakes side off and when i put it all back i started hearing this sound when i would first push the gas when driving.
Let me know if it works Trish - good luck - cheers from Canada!
The problem with mines, it doesn't use shims, what would i do?
Use glue baking in the middle auto parts sells the glues goes in between de caliper and brake pad
Try another brand of brake pads -
Thanks Canada
Anytime Victor thanks for the comment - Cheers from Canada!
Looks like this is my issue then. Guess I'll take it another month and then let em look at it and check the brakes. I hear that exact clunk or click noise when slowing to a stop. Especially when slowing and turning.
Good idea YTC - its not a dangerous type of thing in most cases - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions How ironic. My cars actually imported from Canada,(where it was originally imported to Canada from Sweden 19 years ago) Saab all the way 🤩
