What Causes the Brake Noise in Accord?
1 Answers
The causes and solutions for the noise are as follows: 1. If it's a squealing sound, first check if it indicates that the brake pads are nearly worn out (the warning tab is making noise). If the pads are new, check for any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and pads. 2. If it's a dull thud, it's mostly an issue with the brake caliper, such as worn sliding pins or a detached spring plate. 3. If it's a hissing sound, there could be multiple issues, including problems with the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. If the noise persists, first check for any brake drag, as poor caliper retraction can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pads, leading to noise under certain conditions. Also, check for any foreign objects stuck between the pads and disc. If the pads are new, inspect the brake disc for grooves, as localized friction can cause noise.
