Brake Pad Clicking Noise


Recommended Posts

I did a search, but didn't turn up anything - so I'm posting a new thread (and question).

Part I:

I have been running pagid yellows for a while, but they tend to become worthless below 1/3 of a pad. This weekend, I had one front pad chunk horrbily - to the point that it was losing material under braking so fast that the pad was eaten away to the backing plate. It was so bad that under braking it caused the car to turn. Keep in mind that this was just 1 pad on the front driver's side (the outer pad), the inner pad still had more than 1/3 remaining - although it was chunking, it was not disintegrating. On the passenger side and in the rear, both pads were still more than 1/3.

Part II:

So I upgraded to PFC-01 in the front. However, now I have a clicking noise when I tap the brake. My guess is that when there is no pressure in the line, the pads back off the rotor just a bit, and when you tap the brakes they are pushed onto the rotor causing the clicking noise I hear.

Has anyone experienced this?

I have a similar issue, when I back up and hit the brakes, the pads click, after driving forward, they click again the first time I hit the brakes but they

don't click on subsequent braking. I think the pads have some play up and down in the caliper and causes them to click.

I'm using OE pads from Suncoast (Textar) on the street (they click) and Hawks HT-10 on the track (they don't click). I have the shims installed but not glued to the pads.
