Clicking & scraping noise from rear brakes

[Bluethunder]

Hi Everyone,

After driving for a while/when brakes warm up there's a squealing and clicking/scraping noise when I apply the brakes at low speed until the car stops.

Main dealer has already had a look at it and stripped/cleaned front and rear brakes. There was no noise for the first 2 days but now the problem has returned...

I'm concerned about the clicking/scrapping noise which seems to be getting louder. Squealing noise is just annoying.. I'm taking the car back next week but any ideas what might be causing the problem?

Cheers,

Nean

clicking is odd. Is it wheel rotation speed dependant? Have you, in a nice safe way, given it a bloody good stop or two. It might not help but it is fun.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I can only hear it a low speeds. Took it to the dealer yesterday and they striped the rear driver side brake components again. The noise has gone, just hope it doesn't return!...

I had exact same issue.. took it to bham lexus under extended warrenty and got it fixed.. it was a small metal plate that is placed between the pad and caliper.. that had become loose.

Happened to me... on my RX - on the rears.

Had the small clips replaced, and the 'wonky' pads skimmed.

Fixed it for a few months - now it's back again

Possibly the pad retaining pins and anti rattle plate, this is available as a kit from Lexus part number 04948-0W010. Price around £30.00 a side.

ACE880, I also have extended warranty but they told me brakes are not covered... Issue seems to have been fixed at the 2nd attempt.

The pad retaining pins were fixed for my wife's RX450. We got a continuous screech from one of the rears - so loud it was embarrassing! Only seemed to happen when cruising though - not when actually on the brakes. Took a while to get to the bottom of it.

Glad it's fixed now!
