I keep hearing clicking sound coming from the rear of the MCS ('06) when
braking around town, it doesn't happen every time, usually under slight pedal
pressure. Any thoughts / solutions or similar occurrences?
Does it sound a lot like a clack.. almost like the brake pads slapping the rotors? I complained shortly after getting my 05 and the dealer "did something" that made it go away... it didn't go away until I replace the stock pads with Redbox pads.
I had a mechanic (Steve of Steves in Northridge) looked at the pads and didn't see anything / but it does sound like the pads hitting the rotors if I had to guess.
How did you decide on Redbox pads / where did you order them?
there shouldn't be anything wrong with the pads... some say it is the ABS setting itself... not sure. The redbox pads I bought were the Mintex pads, I bought them for the low dust. My guess is the install included some stop squeel which essentially binds the pads to the caliper with grease.
