Continuous Knocking sound when press footbrake

[ChrisKA]

When using footbrake on my Nissan Micra K13 there’s a continuous clicking or knocking sound take foot off brake pedal the sound goes, is this normal, it’s done it since getting the car over a year now, just passed MOT.

This is something you should refer to a garage in case it is a worn suspension or brake component which could be dangerous

Thanks Trevor it’s weird as it’s been doing this since I bought the car 3 years ago it’s passed MOTs

sometimes, pads that are loose in the caliper carrier (lack of fitting shims) can cause this noise.
Also, suspension bushes which allow minimal amount of play can also cause a noise when braking.
I would at least check the pads and also any mountings and bolts in the brakes and suspension

Thanks Trevor the clicking sound is when stood still at lights etc. while I have my foot on the brake, when I release the brake pedal to pull away of put handbrake on the clicking sound goes.

Hi Chris

This sounds like the baring in the banana arm on my 350Z.
