What Causes Abnormal Noises When Braking?
1 Answers
The causes of abnormal braking noises can be attributed to the following six reasons: 1. Poor quality brake pads: If the installed brake pads are not provided by a legitimate manufacturer or are self-purchased inferior products, excessively hard materials can cause abnormal noises during braking and may also damage the brake disc. 2. Foreign objects in the brake disc: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris into the brake system. 3. Severe wear of the brake disc: Friction between the brake pads and an uneven brake disc can also produce abnormal noises. 4. Severe wear of the brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads thin out due to continuous friction. Excessively thin brake pads not only reduce braking effectiveness but also harden, leading to abnormal noises during braking. 5. Improper installation: Faulty assembly by workshop technicians can cause abnormal braking noises, possibly due to loose or misaligned installation. 6. Incorrect installation or mismatched brake pad model: Installing brake pads backward may extend the braking distance and, in severe cases, affect the lifespan of the brake disc.
