Weird noise from the rear when applying brakes at slow speed
Does anyone experience this problem on your beloved 8 before?

As soon as I step on the brake pedal, this weird sound will come out while I'm trying to stop the car at the speed of 10km/h - 5km/h. It usually happens after I drive my car for approx. 10 mins. During the first 10 mins driving, this weird sound will not come out.


*shouldn't be brake pads problems since I just changed my rear pads few months ago.


I guess I have to visit scarborough mazda soon....

the sound is like a snapping sound

(in which you will think of using WD-40 to get rid of the sound) haha

...did you line up the caliper piston grove with the pin on the pad backing plate? Not sure if this would cause this sound, but perhaps?
