DESCRIPTION
When braking in a forward direction, then changing direction and braking in reverse, a clunk noise may be heard from the front brakes. This condition is
most noticeable when the vehicle is moving forward, then backwards a short distance while applying the brakes in both directions. This may be caused
by excessive clearance between the brake pad and caliper support, resulting in a clunk noise.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Verify customer concern.
2.
Remove front brake pads and shims from caliper.
CAUTION:
Avoid damage or deformation of existing shims because they will be re-used.
3.
Preassemble modified pads with existing shims.
NOTE:
Replace brake pads only, original shims must be re-used.
4.
Install brake pads with original shims to caliper support.
NOTE:
Ensure brakes are free from dragging or unusual noise.
