Clicky Brake Pedal

[TerryAdams]

I noticed recently, when braking at low speeds, when I apply the brake lightly, I hear and feel a slight clicking sound ( only once )

Pads, discs and calipers are basically brand new, no problems braking etc either.

It sounds to me that it's entirely inside the car and not outside at all.


Thanks

well youve got a few options

the arm rests on a shaft, then below that is a pin and push rod(these often click on many makes n models) then at the end of the pushrod it goes into the power booster and thru the firewall..again a good click point..youve also got the brake switch itself..which if loose or going bad will click or squeek

if its inside the car stick your head under the dash and wiggle it around and finding it isnt hard

Why is it, I only hear the click when the car is moving and I brake lightly ?
If I press the brake when the car is still, no noise at all ?

pressure from the brake booster....try it with the car running but not moving/in gear and see if it still does it

No it only does it when moving forwards.
