What Causes Squealing and Ineffective Braking During Emergency Stops?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for squealing noises and difficulty braking during emergency stops: 1. When installing new brake pads without resurfacing the old brake rotors, causing improper fit. Improper installation or fitting new pads directly onto uneven old rotors will result in uneven wear of the new brake pads. 2. There might be defects in the braking system itself, causing the brake pads to only partially contact the rotors. This increases pressure per unit area, leading to squealing. It's recommended to inspect components like calipers and guide pins. 3. Foreign objects may be present, causing mismatched contact surfaces and resulting in noise.
