What are the causes of abnormal brake noise?
1 Answers
The causes of abnormal brake noise are: 1. Metal particles or small gravel between the brake pads and brake discs; 2. Excessive wear of brake discs or brake drums; 3. Overly hard brake pads; 4. Rust in the brake calipers; 5. Inflexible handbrake cables; 6. Slow return of the master brake cylinder. Solutions for abnormal brake noise in cars include: 1. Checking if there are lubrication issues with the top rubber or buffer rubber of the shock absorbers; 2. Running-in new brake friction pads; 3. Timely replacement of brake pads; 4. Removing foreign objects from the surface of the brake discs. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake rotor, slowing down or stopping the car.
