Why Do Alphard & Vellfire Stock Brake Calipers Make “Clicking” Sounds?

estm_specialist

Many Alphard and Vellfire owners ask the same question:

“Why do I hear a clicking or knocking sound from the brakes at low speed?”

✅ The real reason (very common):

The original factory brake caliper design does NOT include a damping ring.
After long-term use, the caliper pin clearance increases, especially during:

• Low-speed braking
• Driving on uneven or bumpy roads
  
  

This causes a light metal-to-metal tapping sound, which is very common and not a defect.

Our Improved Solution

We use an upgraded caliper pin with an added damping ring, which helps to:

• Reduce excessive clearance
• Stabilise caliper movement
• Improve braking quietness and consistency
  
  

Result:
Less noise, better brake feel, and more stable long-term performance.

Long-Term Cost Advantage

With this setup:

• The main pin does not need repeated replacement
• In the future, only the damping ring needs to be renewed
• Lower maintenance cost over time
  
  

Not sure if your noise is from the caliper pin?

If your Alphard or Vellfire has a similar clicking sound,
send us the keyword “Brake Noise” and we’ll help you identify the cause.
