Hello,

When I reverse back then brake there is a clunk as the pads contact the discs (at the rear I assume). I phoned my Subaru dealer today - they said immediately "It is the pads moving in the calipers.......Nothing to worry about......they all do it".

It is a 2003 WRX with standard discs and pads. Anyone else have this?

Should something be done about it - none of my others cars (not Impreza's) have ever done this?

Thanks for any advice,

Brian.

Not uncommon

Could be front or rear. As jlanng says, it's far from uncommon, and as your dealer says, it's nothing to worry about.

I had the same thing, mine was low front pad, changed pads, no more clunk

I have the same thing on my MY00, every morning when I park at work.
It's a sign that the pads are nice and clean and moving freely.

Once the gunk up a bit with brake dust and grime it'll probably stop.

Didn't do it on the 2 -pots I had on the UK MY94 and 93 WRX tho'
