What Causes the Obvious Jerking Sensation During Emergency Braking?
1 Answers
Emergency braking may cause a jerking sensation due to the unsynchronized rotation speeds of the vehicle's engine and clutch plate, foreign objects on the brake disc, or issues with the brake pads. Below are the specific reasons and solutions: Unsynchronized Engine and Clutch Plate Speeds: If the vehicle is a manual transmission and experiences jerking during braking, it is highly likely caused by the unsynchronized rotation speeds of the engine and clutch plate. During braking, the driver should simultaneously press the clutch and brake to perform the braking action. Foreign Objects on the Brake Disc: Especially after driving in rainy or snowy weather, it is essential to promptly check for foreign objects on the brake disc. If any are found, they should be removed immediately. Otherwise, not only will it cause jerking during braking, but it will also significantly reduce the vehicle's safety. Issues with the Brake Pads: Owners should regularly inspect and replace brake pads. The need for replacement can be determined by the wear condition of the brake pads. When the thickness of the brake pad is reduced to about 1/3 of its original thickness (approximately 0.5 cm), it indicates that replacement is necessary.
