What Causes Squealing Sounds When Braking?
1 Answers
Reasons for squealing sounds when braking: 1. Worn brake pads are one of the causes of friction noise during braking. If the brake pads have been used for a long time, the backing plate gradually loses its material, causing metal-to-metal contact and producing harsh noises; 2. Friction noise caused by damaged brake shims. Worn shims come into contact with the braking system, and when metal meets metal, it generates sharp sounds from the braking system. Car brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to create friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.
