Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Yes, it should be replaced. Changing the brake fluid in a car ensures optimal braking performance. Below are the reasons for unusual noises when braking: 1. "Hissing" sound: This indicates a fault in the caliper, brake pad, or brake shoe. 2. Continuous noise: This is caused by poor caliper retraction, leading to prolonged friction between the disc and pad. 3. Foreign objects: There may be debris between the brake pad and brake disc. 4. Faulty guide pin: The brake guide pin is malfunctioning. Below are the reasons for steering wheel vibration during braking: 1. Wear: Uneven wear on the brake disc can cause steering wheel vibration when braking at high speeds. 2. Braking imbalance: When driving at a certain speed, uneven braking torque can cause the left and right wheels on the same axle to desynchronize, resulting in brake looseness. 3. Uneven rolling speed: If the braking torque imbalance becomes severe, it can cause the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, leading to side-to-side wheel oscillation, which is then transmitted to the steering wheel.
