Brake Noises

posted on 2/9/2017 5:45:24 AM

Q: Why do my brakes make a single “click” noise when I back out of a parking place and once again when I drive forward? – Mrs. Reyes

 

A: Mrs. Reyes,

A clearance between the brake caliper brackets and the ends of the brake pads allows for heat expansion and avoids corrosion between the caliper bracket and the brake pads. That clearance can cause the pads to hit the caliper brackets when you first apply the brakes in a new direction of travel. When you back up and apply the brakes and then drive forward and apply the brakes the single “click” noise you hear is a normal characteristic of the brake system.
