What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Slowly Releasing the Brakes?
1 Answers
Brake squeaking when slowly releasing the brakes can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Friction between the brake pads and the disc or drum; presence of foreign objects between the brake drum or disc and the pads; poor quality of the brake pads, such as high metal content, inferior quality, or excessive foreign matter. 2. Irregularities or abnormalities in the flatness or curvature of the brake disc or drum due to prolonged use, leading to abnormal contact friction with the pads; malfunction of the brake caliper. 3. When the brake pedal is slowly released, and the power and braking force are at a critical point, friction between the brake pads and the disc may produce noise. However, if the brake pedal is released quickly, no sound occurs, which is a normal phenomenon.
