What Causes the Noise When Braking in Reverse?
1 Answers
Reasons for noise when braking in reverse: When braking in reverse, which is opposite to the vehicle's forward direction, there is a certain amount of clearance between the brake pads and the rear end of the bracket. Therefore, during braking, the brake pads impact the rear surface of the bracket, resulting in abnormal noise. The working principle of braking mainly relies on friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake discs, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, bringing the car to a stop. To mitigate the noise when braking in reverse, a thin layer of lubricating grease can be applied to the parts where the brake pads connect with the brake caliper bracket. This can help improve the phenomenon to some extent.
