Is It Normal for New Car Brakes to Make Noise?
1 Answers
It is normal for new car brakes to make noise as the brake discs and pads need a break-in period. Brakes serve the functions of deceleration and stopping, and their working principle is: by utilizing the friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, thereby bringing the car to a halt. The maintenance methods for brakes include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the brake system, avoid brake pads from seizing due to high temperatures, and eliminate brake squealing; 2. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, drums, and any components to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 3. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 4. Periodically checking the thickness of brake pads or shoes.
