Rear right brake is clicking.... - 08/25/02 02:13 PM
I have a 99 SE SPORT with rear drum brakes.
Over six months ago, I took my car to the dealer for a clicking coming from the rear brake. They took a look at it and cleaned it up and the sound stopped. They could not pinpoint a specific problem in the brake system.
Three months ago (roughly), I had the front rotors and pads replaced and the rear brakes cleaned and adjusted. (Midas, I know, overly expensive, but they've always done good work) For about the past month or so, the clicking sound in the rear passenger side brake has been back.
Car in park - pump brakes, with each pump click-chick-chick, click-chick-chick, click-chick-chick
As you are driving and begin to stop the clicking slows with what appears to be the rotation of the wheel.
I have taken it back to Ford, and because they couldn't find anything wrong with it the first time, he told me to take it back to Midas since they had just cleaned it. I took it back to Midas, the guy put some silicon on the brake and it alleviated the problem for about two miles. They found nothing else wrong with it. I took it to another brake specialist (local) and they found nothing wrong with it, but the sound went away for about a day. Does anybody have any earthly idea what this could possibly be?
Oh, and please don't make fun of my click-chick-chick!!
Oh, and today on our way to church, it was extremely loud and obvious. I hit the brakes hard and it didn't feel like it was going to stop. My wife and I got out and smelled a burning smell, very bad sulfury odor. After that, the brakes worked fine, but the clicks sounded like they were going even while we were driving down the road.
