My Brakes Are Like Clicking ?

[jamesey]

hi the only way i can describe it is when i pull up on my drive or up to a junction i can here a clicking its definatly the brakes . just the drivers side i think

[steve2006]

They click on mine when the slide pins need regreasing.

[jamesey]

which bits are the slide pins are those the pins with the clip on the end that holds the pad in? if so im sure i did this with copperslip?

[steve2006]

I'm not sure if the IS brakes are the same set up but the slide pins on my LS are the bits that have the rubber boot seals attached.

I got this clicking to. It is diagnosed as the slide pins needing a re grease however I did mine when I refurbed my calipers a month ago and I still get it from time to time. Might take them apart again make sure they are ok

Your not confusing it with the the click the abs makes are you?

[BillNick]

What click does the ABS make and when does/should it make it?

The click I get is when I apply the brakes at very slow speeds either stopping to reverse into somewhere or moving in traffic.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

I read in the handbook you can hear a click from the abs and to not to be alarmed by it lol...It activates over 7mph so maybe your click is something else.

Mine is something definitely with the drivers caliper.when pulling up to stop .im talking less than 1 mph.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Yeah sorry didn't mean to cause confusion

a single click, more like a clonk? Normally the slider pins starting to corrode, they clonk as they suddenly move rather than moving freely. But it could also be the pads moving within the callipers, or your wheel nuts are very loose.

Are you able to take apart the caliper,theres advice on how to on here,then grease with lithium grease on the slider pins,theyre easy to get out.

I have a very similar noise I believe, Sounds like something clicking into place, or in and out of place, usually when I pull up to the gate at work. So we're talking about 10mph down to zero car stopped it just clicks once or twice from the front end wheel area. Only seems to do it at the end of a journey, once the car (and therefore brakes/steering components) are warm.

Bugged me for a while, had my brakes and discs changed and watched everything being greased up as it was reassembled. Will get the front end up in the air next week when I have time and check the drivers side calipers etc for anything and report back.

simular to mine but just when i come to stop.

[steve2006]

Yes caliper pins are available from Lexus, priced around £10.00 each,some also have little rubber rings on them which also deteriorate but again available from the dealers.
