What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking at Low Speed in a Sedan?
1 Answers
The causes of abnormal noise when braking at low speed in a sedan are as follows: 1. Generally, faults in the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads can produce this abnormal noise. If the noise persists, the first thing to check is whether there is any dragging brake. Poor caliper reset can cause prolonged friction between the disc and the pad, which may produce abnormal noise under certain conditions. 2. If the noise occurs immediately after installing new pads, it may be due to inconsistent sizes between the new pads and the friction blocks, or it could be normal noise during the break-in period of new brake pads. New brake pads and discs require a break-in process. When braking, if it happens to grind against a hard spot on the brake pad (due to the material of the brake pad), this type of noise will occur. 3. When there are sand or gravel particles stuck between the brake pads and the brake disc, this type of noise can also occur. 4. Severe wear of the brake pads can also cause abnormal noise, which is a signal to the owner to replace the brake pads.
