What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Braking During Turns?
1 Answers
Reasons for squeaking noise when braking during turns: poor quality brake pads, foreign objects lodged in the brake disc, severe wear of the brake disc, severe wear of the brake pads, rust on the brake disc, etc. Below is a detailed analysis: Poor quality brake pads: If the brake pads installed are not from a reputable manufacturer or are of inferior quality purchased by the owner, the overly hard material can produce a squeaking noise during braking and may also damage the brake disc. Therefore, it is advisable to replace them with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads at an authorized 4S shop. Foreign objects lodged in the brake disc: When driving on rough roads, wheels can easily fling stones or other foreign objects into the braking system. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap these objects between the brake pad and the brake disc, causing noise during braking. Severe wear of the brake disc: Sometimes, foreign objects can directly scratch the brake disc or other impacts can leave pits on its surface. When the brake pads rub against these uneven surfaces, they can produce a squeaking noise. Severe wear of the brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads thin out due to constant friction. Overly thin brake pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden, leading to noise during braking. Rust on the brake disc: Years of exposure to the elements can cause the brake disc to rust. However, this is not a major concern, as applying the brakes several times will wear off the rust layer.
