Reasons for Squeaking Noise When Pulling the Handbrake?
1 Answers
Due to the high frequency of brake usage, related components are constantly in a state of consumption and wear, with the rate of consumption and degree of wear closely related to the driver's habits. Sometimes, abnormal noises may occur when using the handbrake. Below is relevant information about the brakes: 1. Causes of abnormal noise: Issues with the brake shoes of the rear drum brakes; gaps at the handbrake cable fixing points causing friction; the material of the brake shoes, where the added metal components are too hard; poor assembly of the handbrake shoes and related accessories; possible abnormal noise when the ratchet is not fully engaged and operated again; caused by the handbrake return mechanism sticking; deterioration of the handbrake cable's elasticity. 2. Summary: The sounds from the brake system can be divided into two situations: one is caused by the handbrake return mechanism sticking, and the other is due to uneven friction surfaces between the brake shoes and the disc. The latter situation generally can only be addressed by grinding the brake shoes.
