What are the causes of brake pad noise?
1 Answers
Brake pad noise can be caused by: 1. Lack of disc surfacing leading to brake pad noise; 2. Defects in the braking system causing only partial contact between the brake pad and disc, resulting in noise; 3. Unauthorized manual grinding or modification of brake pads, reducing the contact area between the pad and disc and causing noise; 4. Frequent emergency braking, wheel lock-up, or faulty brake calipers causing prolonged overheating of the brakes, leading to brittle friction material or even cracking, which results in noise. Brake pads are friction materials fixed to the rotating brake drum or disc of a wheel. The friction linings and blocks within them withstand external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.
