Why Is Your Car Making Noise When Reversing? by AutoReportNG: 5:05pm On Oct 30, 2018
Have you been wondering why is your car making noise when reversing every time? Each time you are backing up your ride, it makes a squealing noise. At times, an old brake pad can cause this as it rubs against the rotor and creates a high-pitched noise. It is a sign that your car brakes need a change. You can replace the old bake pad with a new one to resolve the issue.

We will tell you the reasons why your car squeals when in reverse gear. These will help you pin down the exact cause and get the noise taken care of properly.

Why Is My Car Making Noise When Reversing?
If you hear a car reverse sound, the most probable cause of this might be a brake issue. Whether this issue is severe or not, it requires your immediate attention. If you hear brake noise while reversing the car, the chances are that brakes are not the only issue affecting your car’s smooth running.

You can follow the expert maintenance tips below to keep the car running smoothly in reverse.

1. Clicking Noise
One of the most common noises that you will hear when reversing the car is clicking. This car making noise when reversing can occur due to the brake pads shifting to a new direction for travel. However, too much movement between the surface of the pad abutment and caliper can lead to continuous noise. You can take care of this by installing disk brake caliper grease. The grease will lubricate the brakes and eliminate the noise.

The absence of anti-rattle chips can also cause a clicking noise. In addition, not replacing the anti-rattle chips during changing the brakes will lead to this noise.

2. Check The Wear Tabs
In case, you have not driven your vehicle brakes when driving longer distances, the first thing to check is the wear tabs. If the car makes noise when backing up or even while moving forward, wear tabs might be a cause of concern. These are located at the end of the brake tabs and can rub against the rotor to create a squealing noise.

3. Check For Metal
At times, you might wonder as to why do cars whine in reverse gear. The squealing noise can occur when metal touches metal. Check the car rotor and pads and if there is any small metal part between the two, it will create a squealing noise. Make sure that you clean the rotor as well as pads to prevent any metal part from getting in between both.

4. Examine The Grease Shims
Greasing Shims can lead to the squealing noise your car gives out when reversing. These need lubrication from time to time to suppress the noise. Make sure that you apply the lubricant on both sides of the greasing shims to avoid any problem with the brake pads. Also, remember not to use too much grease as it might lead to a large, sticky built-up.

Conclusion
Thus, if the car making noise when reversing every time then these tips can help you avoid an unnecessary headache. These tips will ensure that your ride works smoothly, whether moving forward or reversing back to the garage.
