03 Toyota Corolla-Clicking Noise When I Brake Coming From The Back Of The Car
|
|
|
Hey i purchased a used 03 Toyota Corolla from a dealership yesterday and once i started driving home i noticed a clicking noise coming from the back of the car whenever i brake. The clicking clicks alot faster when i push farther down on the brakes. I don't know if this is a normal thing but I am pretty sure it isn't. They put new brakes on for me as well as new tires and a free oil change. Can someone tell me why its clicking and what can i do to resolve this problem?

It sounds like something on the wheel is making contact with the brake caliper. They may have used different wheels or put a wheel weight in a place where it's making contact.

Your driving home from getting brake and tire work and there is a new noise coming out of the brakes......... Of course you take it back to them. let them find the noise. Don't worry, if they can prove it's not their fault, they will. Otherwise they will resolve the problem.

I don't understand the runaround your getting. It shouldn't be hard to just get someone to look at it. If the dealership is not giving you satisfaction, ask to speak to the service manager. It's his job to satisfy you.

Wow this really sounds like a run around. If you just bought the car plus they did work to it, it shouldn't be this hard to get this fixed...
The only 2 scenarios I can see here is either this dealership has the worst customer service ever or it's a case of a customer being so frustrated with their problem they are taking it out on everyone they talk to so the buck is being passed.
While the 2nd scenario isn't right, it is human nature. If someone has no sympathy for someone else they will only do the bare minimum that their job requires of them for that person. Where if they actually felt sorry for the person & their problem they might have gone a few extra steps outside their job requirement to help the person out in getting their problem fixed.......

While after four years I assume that the original poster has resolve his problem, I will try to help someone like me who has just run across this thread.
I have seen numerous references on various forums to a problem that seems to occur after the rear brakes are replaced on an 8th gen. Corolla. After replacing anything from shoes to the complete rear brake system there are complaints of a clicking noise coming from the rear brakes when the brakes are applied. I recently had the same issue and I think I got to the bottom of it. The Corolla brake shoes like most drum brakes have a leading and trailing set of shoes. The braking surface on the rear shoe should be much closer to the top of the shoe than on the front shoe. On aftermarket brake shoes (at least the Duralast from AutoZone) it is all but impossible to determine which is leading and which is trailing. I ended up going to the dealer and paying through the nose for factory shoes, but they were clearly different than the $15.00 aftermarket variety. Once I installed the factory shoes correctly, the noise went away and all was well. I probably could have used the aftermarket once I compared them to the factory parts but my time must be worth something . If you are having this problem be sure to look carefully at where the pad lands on the steel backing. The one with the pad higher on the backing goes to the rear. This should resolve the clicking problem as it is actually caused by the shoes gripping and releasing from the drum. In my case, I had both leading shoes on one side and both trailing on the other side. Its a simple fix once you know what the problem is but extremely hard to detect without a very close look at the aftermarket shoes. The OEM shoes have a very obvious difference in where the braking surface is bonded to the steel shoe.
