What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Braking?
1 Answers
When a squeaking sound occurs during braking, the main reasons are as follows: 1. New brake pads not yet worn in: Since both the brake pads and brake discs are brand new and not yet worn in, a squeaking sound may occur. 2. Foreign objects or water film between the brake disc and pads: On rainy days, the brake pads can become damp, leading to noise at low speeds. After the vehicle is parked, a slight condensation may form on the surface, causing noise during the first drive the next day. Additionally, foreign objects such as sand, small stones, or other particles between the brake pads and disc can also cause noise. 3. Rust on the brake disc: If the vehicle's brake discs and pads are exposed to water or left parked for an extended period, rust may form on the brake discs, resulting in a squeaking sound during the initial drive. 4. Warning sound from severely worn brake pads: When the brake pads are worn to their limit, the warning indicator will rub against the brake disc, producing a friction sound. It is essential to promptly visit a service station for inspection or replacement of the brake pads to avoid damaging the brake disc and potential brake failure.
