My handbrake inside the car is making a clicking noise that speeds up as you drive and stops if you pull the handbrake on a little .could you please help as my mechanic cant find the problem rod

You can adjust the handbrake from inside the car at the rear of the handbrake. All cars are a little different so you have to look around the area. Usually you have to remove a panel there.

Jack up the back left wheel and rotate it by hand. if it makes a scraping sound, adjust the handbrake by turning the left side adjusting nuts.

This may not work if the problem is the brake caliper or something inside the wheel.
hope this helps.

Silencer hanging down, brakes binding, tyres side ballooning inside edge, no oil in Differential.

Is your Subaru automatic transmission or manual? If it is Automatic Gear box one possibility is the bands inside the gear box stay slight close causing the move stiff.It is Like the Handbrake activation. If this is the cause,please try to see you mechanic and ask for his help and advise,and do not try to do anything on your own. The other possibility is the handbrake itself,even you put it down might the cable do not release the handbrake shoes inside the drums and move stiff and as your reverse speed is low cuts out immediately.

Check to see if it has brake shoes inside the rear disk or it pulls on the caliper direct first before you mess around with it as their could be a fault here ??

the ting with brake pads is that they seldom wear square
looking at the outside edge may be 40% but inside near the center , metal on metal
time to pull the callipers off and do an assessment of the situation or have a professional brake shop do the diagnosis and quote

Remove the cover off the handbrake pull handbrake up and down and you see the cables with one or two screws and nut Release hand brake hold with players one end tide the nuts even and pull hand brake and count one, two, three ,or four clicks stop on three or fourth jack the car on the back and check your wheels to feel free to move .

Are you on a hill? vehicle will roll if your handbrake is not applied. Peaple often make the mistake of thinking their transmission in "PARK" will hold their vehicle on a hill. PLEASE people do not rely on this, use your handbrake!!!!! The park pin inside your transmission is very small and is not designed to hold your car, this is what a handbrake is for.

Hello, My usual Brands are Ford products, but Foreign cars usually use simple, less expensive ways to do things. Assuming the brake pads are good, there should be a cable connected to the handbrake. You would usually pull the handbrake up to engage about 1/4 the way to engagement and lock it there.
Then you would go underneath the car and find the cable that stretches from the handbrake lever to a juction with a second cable. There should be an adjusting thread somewhere at this intersection.

With the rear wheels off the ground, you would tighten the nut on the threads of the handbrake cable until you hear rubbing in the rear brakes. Then get inside the car and pull back on the handbrake lever and you should not be able to move the rear wheels with the handbrake set. You then release the handbrake 100% and the rear wheels should turn mostly without noise.

Now if you can not find an adjustment nut under the car, it is possible the handbrake adjustment nut is under the handbrake cover/boot inside the car. Still use the same process of setting the lever 1/4 engaged and tightening the threaded cable until the rear wheels start dragging.

I hope this helps you.

The most likely cause is that the wheel speed sensor wire got stretched during disassembly, and needs to be replaced not. If the wires arent disconnected from the hub, or strut during disassembly, they get pulled and yanked and the wires inside stretch to far, but you cant see it because the outside looks ok. Happens all the time.

first check condition of discs and pads if all is good drive and pull up handbrake slowly to see if its the handbrake shoes making the noise if still a problem will most probably be rear wheel bearings
