Hey Guys

I dont know what happened. I noticed there is a "Ding" sound from the back when I back-up the car. The "Ding" sound would be heard when I step on the brake and the car is near fully stop. I always back-up and brake the car very smoothly, but the "Ding" sound always there.

Is that Normal?
Is there anything wrong?
Please Help!

I dont like the noise and I worried about the S

Thanks

A friend's wife said this to him once. Turned out she was backing up over the garbage cans.

 

I'm beting it's nothing more than brake pad shift noise which is common.

However, another possibility is a small number of owners report Rear Axle Nuts problems. Rear axle nuts are not loose, they just need to be retorqued to keep the hub from shifting on the axle splines which make the tick tick noise. The axle nut is "staked" and will not come loose from the axle. This is distinguishable by a clicking sound during quick starts in forward or reverse.

 

Hey i sometime heard that noise too...i guessed is normal.

I hear same noise. When parked at work, w/parking brake on. I usually park on a very slight slope (5 or 6 deg) sloping to rear of car. When I release parking brake, then let it roll out into the lot (about 12 ft), I gently apply brakes...."CLICK" or maybe a "CREAK". Always from rear. I figured it is just the rear brakes re-applying after being cranked down all day.

Maybe someone else has a more scientific answer (???)

I've only heard it once....scared the crap out of me. I thought something had broken. It's been fine since.
