What Causes Brake Noise When the Car is Moving?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake noise when the car is moving: 1. Metal hard spots on the brake pads; 2. Severe wear of the brake disc; 3. Foreign objects between the brake disc and brake pads; 4. Noise after prolonged parking. If the brake pads make noise, and the noise is not very loud, it may indicate small foreign objects like stones on the brake pads, and the noise will gradually disappear after driving for a while. When driving, sudden braking can cause noticeable and harsh noise, which can damage the brake pads and discs. Try to minimize sudden braking and avoid frequent braking, as it increases fuel consumption. Under safe conditions, drive as smoothly as possible. When going downhill for a long distance, use engine braking to slow down the car instead of continuously applying the brakes, which can cause the brake pads to overheat and affect braking performance.
