Why are my back brakes knocking?
The knocking noise mentioned earlier is caused by the brake pads rattling in the brackets. Lightly apply pressure to the brakes while going over a potholed road. If the noise is gone, the pads are moving. To fix the rattling pads, buy a hardware kit with the parts needed.
Why does my car make a knocking sound when I brake?
Worn suspension parts can also be a cause of a knocking sound when braking. The “lower control arm” bushings can wear to the point of actually tearing apart, and then the whole front wheel assembly can move back and forth when you brake and accelerate.
Why do my back brakes make a thumping noise?
The repair shop warrantied out both the rotors, and when the problem came back replaced the pads as well. This appeared to work. I began to hear the same sound in the rear wheels. I had my back rotors replaced and back pads warrantied out and within a few days I hear the same noise.
What do you hear when you brake at low speeds?
Most of the time when I brake at low speeds I hear a clicking type sound, that is fairly faint. I do NOT hear squeaking, grinding or any high pitched noises that might indicate my brake pads are wearing down, or anything that sounds really bad. I also do NOT feel anything in the pedal with the clicking/tapping.
Why do my brake pads pulsate in and out?
The front brake pads are pulsating in and out because the brake rotor has a small high spot on it causing the brake pads to pulsate. You can probably feel this pulsation in the brake pedal or in the steering wheel as well…usually.

Why do my brakes click when I brake?
You have to make sure this notch is on the top side of the installed pad. If you install it on the bottom the pad will lift up when you brake and then go back down quikly and then up and down again and again. to be more clear usually this notch is in the same side as the wear sensor. If your wear sensor is in the bottom, there is your culprit.
