What Are the Causes of Squeaking Car Brake Pads?
1 Answers
The causes of squeaking car brake pads: 1. Severe wear of the brake pads, reaching the warning line or being completely worn out; 2. Noise caused by the material of the brake pads, generally harder materials are more likely to produce such sounds; 3. Improper installation of the brake system. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies decisively on the brake pads. Brake pads are typically composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust. The working principle of braking mainly comes from friction, utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy through friction, thereby stopping the car.
