Steve36 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was reversing off my drive and when I pressed the brake, I hear a knock from the front, sounds like its coming from the axles. Happens every time I reverse and brake ? Anyone experienced this ? happens in my 2016 STi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I get the same thing in my 2004 WRX, it's probably the brake pads... the clips only push them in one direction (Up towards the top of the caliper), so when you brake going in the other direction, they move slightly and hit the caliper... it's completely harmless. If the clips on the caliper were the other way around, the knocking would happen whenever you brake going forward, this happened to me and was MUCH more annoying!

kershaw-330s Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I spent ages trying to sort this with multiple different types of pads on my hatch . But it doesn't seem to be happening ATM " touch wood" I think once the pads bed in a lil bit it goes away . But as sandals said it's completely harmless Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linx Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 You could have a loose calliper or worn pad pins but more than likely just the pads moving normally. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
