2004 Civic break noise
Hello.
My car a '04 Civic makes this 'clank' noise when I break the first time going forward after I backed off (the drive way). It only makes this noise once the first time, then it's OK. I was told by the Honda mechanic that it's called "break pad shift" and it's normal ("Toyota's make the same noise too", he added :-) ). It's hard for me to believe that. What is your experience? Thank you, Dan |
Re: 2004 Civic break noise
Normal? Maybe not normal, but a common occurance.
My 2001 does it with the current pads. My new 2005 Accord and Pilot both do it. My 2001 stopped it with one set of pads. It's hit or miss for me depending on how much play the pads have when installed. I use OEM pads.

Re: 2004 Civic break noise
I don't care that much about the noise, it's not that bad. It's just
that the car did not do that when it was new, it started making the noise only after a while. Also, I was puzzled to hear that it's "normal" especially when it comes to Honda. All my previous cars, granted that there are not that many - four, did not make this noise and all of them were much older then this one.
