What Causes Brake Squealing in Rainy Weather?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for car brake squealing in rainy weather: 1. Fine sand carried by water adheres to the brake disc: In humid weather or when there's significant day-night temperature difference with dew or after rain, the brake disc may rust, equivalent to tiny particles. Car brake pads come in hard and soft varieties - hard ones are more wear-resistant but if there are small particles between hard pads and gray cast iron discs, they can produce sharp squealing sounds. A few brake applications will grind away these particles. 2. Missing or damaged brake disc mounting screws: This can also cause brake noise. 3. Brake system malfunction: This requires inspection and repair at a 4S shop or auto repair shop.
