"Tok" Sound when braking at low speeds (less than 10kmph) - Toyota Yaris Forums

buchieboy · 12-10-2008, 02:28 AM

Hi Guys, need your advice here.

My Yaris is experiencing some weird sounds during braking. A "TOK" sound comes up during stop and go driving (less than 8kmph), This does not happen at high speed braking.

Im driving an automatic by the way

Hope to hear your advice!

Like, TOK and thats it?

Or TOK TOK TOK TOK TOK TOK TOK TOK?

How old is the car? How many miles? How many times have you changed the brakes?

Sounds like a brake pad thats lost its retention spring and is rocking back and forth.

Just one Tok!

Car is 18 months old, 22,000 km. This has been present ever since.

Yaris pads have those?

If it is a repeatable problem just bring it in to the dealer and get them to look at it. There's still warranty on the thing.

Have you had your rear brakes cleaned and ajusted yet. Should be done every 10k miles. Or sooner. Otherwise that is your problem. Brake shoe lining has excessive travel to the drum. Clean all the dust and dirt out of the drum and off the backing plate. And properly lubricate the backing plate with brake grease and i garentee your problem should go away.

Notice i used the word garentee and should in the same sentence. =)

But if he said this has been happening since the beginning, it is not likely the problem. If it started suddenly you may be right but i don't think that is the case...

I recently discovered another "TOK" sound.

This happens when i step on the brake pedal and turn the steering wheel to the left it produces a single "tok sound" after that it doesnt produce the sound anymore no matter how many times i turn the steering to the left. It only reproduces the sound when i let go and press the brake pedal again and do the same procedure. The sound only comes up when in total stop.

I also notice that my steering wheel is a tad harder to turn to the left compared to the right.

What can be wrong with this?
