1 Answers
The reasons for the squeaking sound from brake pads when not braking are: 1. Front and rear brake pads have worn to their limit; 2. The brake disc has worn to its limit; 3. Foreign objects have entered between the brake disc and brake pads; 4. Poor retraction of the brake caliper; 5. Deformation of the brake caliper bracket; 6. Poor retraction of the handbrake cable. The maintenance methods for brake pads are: 1. Regularly check the thickness of the brake pads; 2. Regularly inspect the wear level of the brake shoes and replace them when they reach the limit; 3. Use special tools to retract the brake caliper when replacing the brake shoes; 4. After replacement, press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the brake shoes and the brake disc; 5. Replace the brake pads with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
