How to Solve the Brake Noise Issue in Kia Sportage?
1 Answers
Noise is more likely to be caused by brake pad issues. Severe wear, metal particles, or improper installation could all lead to noise. Additionally, in winter, the rubber components of the brake suspension may harden due to low temperatures, causing noise that naturally disappears once the car warms up. Below are the possible causes of brake noise: If the noise is a low-pitched thud, it might be the sound of the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) activating. After ruling out the ABS, consider whether the cold weather is causing the brake rubber pads to deform, leading to misalignment and noise. If the noise disappears after driving for a while, this is likely the case. However, there are many potential causes for brake noise during startup, most of which are related to brake pads. Severe wear or improper installation of brake pads could cause noise. Other possibilities include issues with the brake caliper, wear on the brake pad pins, or detachment of the brake pad spring clips, all of which could also result in noise.
