Alfa 156 Brake Problem
I noticed this morning that every time I press the brake pedal I can hear a
switch "clicking" sound. It only takes light pressure to cause it and it is definately not a suspension type sound as it immediately follows on from a press on the pedal. Does any one know what this might be? Cheers in advance. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Catman, I should have said that I can hear the noise externally, it is
definately not inside the car. "Catman" > wrote in message ... > Mitch wrote: > > > I noticed this morning that every time I press the brake pedal I can hear > > a > > switch "clicking" sound.

I get this. It's the rear brake pads clicking in their calipers, doesn't seem to be a problem. -- Simon Mason Anlaby East Yorkshire. 53°44'N 0°26'W http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |

Hi;
I have this problem at the moment. Sounds a bit like a push bike freewheeling, sorta click,click,click. Happens when I break or turn sharply at low speed. Coming from fron passenger side. Collegues have suggested that it is the CV joint. It should be packed with grease by a mechanic. If that doesnt work then a replacement may be needed. Apparently can cause tyre wear. Dont know if can cause other problems with stearing. |
