What Causes the Clicking Sound When Brake Pads Rust?

[SanMiguel]

The reasons and solutions for rust and abnormal noises in brake pads: 1. Minor rust on the brake disc: If there is only slight rust on the surface, you can remove it by continuously applying the brakes while driving. No special treatment is needed, as minor rust on the brake disc will be worn off by braking during vehicle operation. While driving, gently apply the brakes to allow the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc to 'polish' the surface. 2. Severe rust on the brake disc: If the rust on the brake disc is severe, the above method of removing rust by braking is not suitable. When there is significant rust, it can cause unevenness on the brake disc surface, leading to vehicle vibration during braking. The driver will noticeably feel abnormalities in the brake pedal, steering wheel, and vehicle body. It is necessary to perform maintenance on the brake disc every two months to prevent the rust from becoming too severe.
