sid_vicious Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi, I have a question concerning the brakes on my 97 Outback wagon. Recently I have been hearing a pretty loud clicking-type noise when I first depress the brake pedal before starting the engine. This click has now become a creak. I was recently told on the message board that the clicking may have been the automatic transmission gear shift lock, but this cannot be the case for the creaking sound. It sounds like it's coming from down near the brakes somewhere, but I can't be totally sure. The brakes do not misbehave during driving in any way, just the strange creaking before starting the car. I have noticed a very slight roughness in the brake pedal travel lately as well...could the two be related? Thanks for any help, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Do you have an automatic or manual tranny? Does the car need to be running to hear the creak? Is it only the first brake pedal stroke? It's possible the clevis pin does not have grease on it, and it's making the creaking noise from metal to metal contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
