Aurion/Camry ABS Actuator

[AusAurion]

Hi there,

I know this topic about the ABS actuator making a knock/ping/click/cluck at the start of each drive as the car hits about 10kmph - 15kmph has been spoken about before. However does anyone know why it happens on some Aurion/Camry and not all and why it is louder on some cars then others. I know this sound is meant to be normal, however it sounds so cheap and I wonder why Toyota let this sound happen on some Aurions and Camrys and not on all models which has ABS.

Any comment or insight would be appreciated.

It's like asking why someone's brakes squeal more than another's, or why someone may get more creaks and rattles than another... even though the car seems identical.

Despite what it would seem, there are slight variations between each car. On top of that, environmental factors can play as well. Temperature of the fluid, the condition of the fluid, the state of the braking system before the self test, and other variations.

I wouldn't say the sound makes the car seem 'cheap' though. If you think that's the case then so be it, but really... that's just some serious nitpicking.
