Why are my brakes making a clicking noise?

When the brakes make a rattling or clicking noise, this is an indication that your brake pads need replacing. The rattling and clicking is caused by the vibration of loose components which damages the brake pad.

What do bad rear drum brakes sound like?

Scraping noises when brakes are pressed If the brake drums become excessively worn, they may give off a scraping or scratching sound when the brakes are depressed. This usually means the brake shoes have also become severely worn, and a close inspection would be required to determine the exact cause of the noise.

Do rear brake drums make noise?

When the pads and shoes wear down, it can result in a metallic grinding noise, as the backing plate starts making contact with the rotor or drum. Brake pads also have a metal wear indicator that drags on the rotors when the pads are worn out. This will make a grinding or squealing noise.

What causes drum brake chatter?

Brake chatter can occur if the brake rotor is warped, if the lining of the brake pads is contaminated with oil or brake fluid or if the brake linings move slightly.

Why is my right rear drum brake making a clicking noise?

The clips did not have enough tension to pull the pin all the way though the brake assembly and in turn not force the shoe against the backplate. So under braking the springs that engage the brakes pull the shoes away from the backplate and they begin to flap.

What should I do if I hear a thumping noise on my brakes?

Do this three to five times, while keeping a steady speed; the noise should disappear, or at least be 90% gone. Then drive the car at normal speeds and use the brakes the way you normally would. If the noise has not changed, you may have a different thumping noise than what I have described here in this article.

Why do my brakes clap when I hit the brakes?

Most common is shoes out of adjustment. When you hit the brakes, the drum will pull a shoe, and push the other. When they are far out of adjustment, it can cause the shoes to “clap” and this maybe the noise you hear. Also, did u verify correct shoes were installed per side? One shoe is primary, other is secondary.
