What Causes Brake Pads to Grind Against Brake Discs?
1 Answers
Brake pads grinding against brake discs can occur due to the following reasons and solutions: 1. Foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs: If there were no initial abnormalities but sudden grinding occurs, this is likely the cause. For example, small stones may get caught between the brake pads and discs when braking. Solution: Remove the foreign objects between the brake pads and discs. 2. Material issues: The brake pads or discs themselves may be problematic. If the brake pads are of poor quality, they may have large metal particles on the surface, which can cause grinding. 3. Objective factors: Such as inconsistent friction block sizes of the brake pads or improper installation. If inspection reveals localized friction marks on the brake pads, this can usually confirm the cause. Solution: Reinstall the brake pads properly.
