Title: Banging while breaking...?
Post by: danzigfan on 12 September 2011, 12:49:43
Last week I posted a tread about banging noise coming out from under the car when driving over small bumps on the road. Today I heard "bang" coming from rear breakes every time I press break pedal....I'm going to my  mechanic now but I would like to know if this had happened to anyone and what could it be? I can work on the engine but I'm not playing with brakes, no way. Thanks

Is it a bang or a grind? Guessing something has happened to then rear pads...  :-/

sticky rear caliper, the bang is the pad flexing when the piston flex,s the pad and it makes contact with the disc :-X

I know, but it makes that sound. Discs and pads are new, we disassembled everything and it clicks inside :-/

Mine does this sometimes - turned out to be the handbrake pins (that hold the shoes in place inside the drums) have pulled loose, and they catch on the drums sometimes.

I also bet on that or broken disc at first but I've  found this fault then.
