Clunk From the Rear Brakes
(Supersedes 04-009, dated March 23, 2004)
Updated information is shown by asterisks.
SYMPTOM
The rear brake calipers clunk when you first apply the brakes after changing the direction of the vehicle.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The outer shims on the rear brake pads do not allow the pads to slide easily when you press the brake pedal. This causes the outer pad to hit hard during
a change of direction, resulting in a clunk.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the rear brake pad shims.
NOTE:
Brake pad replacement and disc resurfacing is not needed to get rid of the clunk.
