What are the causes of brake pad noise in the Geely Binyue?
2 Answers
Brake pad noise may be caused by rust in the brake caliper, slow return of the master brake cylinder, the running-in period of a new car, or foreign object interference. Rust in the brake caliper If the brake fluid is not replaced for a long time, it will deteriorate, and the moisture in the fluid can cause the caliper to rust, resulting in friction and noise. Slow return of the master brake cylinder Abnormal return of the brake caliper can also lead to brake pad noise. Running-in period of a new car The brake pads and brake discs of a new car are in a brand-new state and still in the running-in period. During this time, some noise may occur, which is normal. Foreign object interference There may be foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs. While driving, foreign objects such as sand or gravel can get caught between the brake pads or discs, causing noise during braking.
I've been driving a Geely Binyue for almost two years, and the brake pads sometimes make squeaking noises, which is quite annoying while driving. There are various reasons for this, mainly due to foreign objects stuck between the brake pads and discs, such as small sand or stones from the road getting in and causing friction sounds. New brake pads may wear unevenly or have hard spots, which can also cause scraping noises when braking. Improper installation, such as pads not being securely fixed, can lead to looseness and vibration noises. During rainy days or after long periods of inactivity, brake discs can rust and develop rust spots, resulting in sharp noises when braking for the first time. Additionally, driving habits play a role; frequent hard braking can accelerate pad wear. I recommend regularly checking the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs. If the abnormal noise persists, it's best to visit a professional shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible—don't overlook safety. You can also clean the brake area of debris during regular car washes to prevent buildup.
