What Causes Squeaky Brake Noises?
1 Answers
Reasons for squeaky brake noises: 1. Break-in period for new vehicles, where brake pad bedding is an important process. It typically takes several hundred kilometers of driving before the brakes feel smoother; 2. Tiny sand particles may get between the brake pads and rotors during driving, sometimes causing noise due to friction. This doesn't require repair - just drive until the particles fall out; 3. Missing or damaged brake rotor mounting screws can also cause brake noise, or there might be a brake system malfunction requiring inspection and repair; 4. Rusty brake rotors - prolonged exposure to weather may cause rust formation. Stepping on the brakes several times will usually wear off the rust layer.
