Is It Normal for a New Car to Make Noise When Braking in Reverse?
1 Answers
It is normal for a new car to make noise when braking in reverse. Normal noise: When a car is new or has just had new brake pads installed, the noise is normal because the friction surfaces have not yet matched. It will automatically disappear after driving and breaking in for a few hundred kilometers. Noise after being wet from rain: Brake pads are usually made of iron, which can rust when wet from rain. This will cause noise when braking, but it will go away after the rust is worn off. Noise due to brake pad configuration issues: Possible causes include brake pads being installed backward, missing screws or parts, the brake pads being too small and not matching the friction surface, or the use of cheap brake pads.
