What Causes the Car Body to Shake When Braking?
1 Answers
The reasons for the car body shaking during braking are as follows: Brake shaking is usually caused by uneven wear of the brake disc: For example, if the outer side is thicker than the inner side or vice versa, during braking, the brake pads clamp the brake disc vertically. If the brake disc is uneven and does not fully contact the brake pads, it will cause shaking. The higher the speed, the more severe the shaking, and the harder it is to stop the car. The use of low-quality brake pads or the initial period after replacing new brake pads can also cause this: Low-quality brake pads contain more metal, making them harder and more prone to resonance when rubbing against the metal brake disc, amplifying vibrations and causing shaking. Therefore, it is advisable to drive cautiously for a certain distance after replacing new brake pads and avoid emergency braking.
