What Causes Brake Pad Noise After Car Washing?
1 Answers
After car washing, the reason for brake pad noise is: the car brake pads are located next to the brake discs on the wheel hubs. After washing, water on the brake pads can cause noise and may affect braking performance, but this effect disappears once the water dries. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Their working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Impurities or poor sealing in the brake master cylinder; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Contaminated brake fluid; 4. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinders; 5. Air leaks in the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Wear of the master cylinder piston.
