 Brakes clicking?
Ok I've got a noob question: Why, when I reverse do the brakes make a clicky noise? It's only ever in reverse, and I've been presuming it's normal? Just wondering why it does it and what is actually doing it?

 Re: Brakes clicking?
Ok this is like those health questions that make you worry about things you'd never normally worry about.
My brakes don't click in reverse... are they meant too?

 Re: Brakes clicking?
