Hey everyone....

i've got a small issue with my car while breaking. not sure what it is and i dont think its an actual problem

when i break and just before my car comes to a stop, i hear like a clicking sound coming from the rear area of my breaks.
doesn't always comes and probably 2 or 3 times out of 5.
whether it's gentle breaking and hard, it sometime hear it.

was wondering anyone has this problem and know what it is..

everytime i get my car services, they go my breaks are fine and while i drive, there isn't issue/problem with the car except for the annoying sound..

I get that too, under hard braking only

And I assume you drive one. Or you wouldn't be asking that question here right?

Remember this

Ep3 like a lot of performance Hondas have little sound deadening. As well as stuff suspension.

Might simply be hearing normal mechanical operation but it sounds a lot clunkier and mechanical than another car

Idk about the clicking but I'll let you know. Afaik your mechanic should have already covered it if it was a problem. My one checks everything on every single service

I had that problem too. Made a noise everytime I went to brake softly.

I found it went away when I changed my rotors and pads.

oh sweet! thanks for that help!

now i just need to find some mullah for new brake pads and rotors

Had this problem too, I took my calipers off and cleaned the pads and pistons and the problem went away, left my garage floor black from all that brake dust lol...maybe it was a sticking caliper or something.

Try taking it off and giving them a clean with brake cleaner. You don't have to take the brake fluid hoses off, it should be the same procedure as just changing your pads. I also painted my brakes whilst I was at it :\

thanks for the info..
dont need to spend money on brake pads and rotors just yet!

unfortunately, i have no idea how to take it apart and putting back together...
