single click when first braking?
« on: July 29, 2008, 22:09:32 »
i get a single click when i initially start to brake, had this on previous vehicles (disco & Rangie) over the years but thought it was about time i asked.  Not sure if it is the pads moving?

Sounds like the pads just moving slightly, the rears can move to the point where the pads fall out..lol!!  if it's just the once it shouldn;t be an issue, if you lose all your brakes, then i was wrong...LOL!!  sorry....

i get that on mine the only thing it can be is the pads moving but as said i,ve had suspension bolts come loose so that they make a clonk when you brake as well

Same on mine and I'm sure I feel it through the brake pedal also. With me head out of the window it sounds like OSF so i suspect a slightly sticky caliper or broken retaining spring etc. Doesn't seem to effect braking, just makes its noise. I'll investigate when I get some free time  :dance:

I had a clonking noise when I first breaked as well. I found out in the mot today it was the nut on the lower shock absorber mount had come loose and being held on by 2 threads and so shock absorber wasnt working as it was just hanging about.

It doesnt clonk under breaking anymore. bonus  :grin: Only took since november to find out what it was!
