What Causes the Squealing Sound When a Car Brakes?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a car's brakes may produce abnormal noises: 1. Excessive wear on the brake disc and brake pads. 2. Improper installation of the brake pads. 3. Presence of foreign objects on the brake pads or brake disc. 4. Poor retraction of the caliper, leading to prolonged friction between the disc and pads. Below is an introduction to related content: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. Methods for brake maintenance include: 1. Regularly checking the thickness of the brake pads, their wear condition, and whether they retract smoothly. 2. Replacing them promptly when wear reaches the limit to avoid reduced braking effectiveness and compromised driving safety. 3. Using original manufacturer-provided brake pads for replacement. 4. Employing specialized tools to retract the brake caliper during replacement. 5. Pressing the brake pedal several times after replacement to eliminate the gap between the pads and the brake disc.
