What does brake drum noise mean?
1 Answers
Brake drum noise refers to the abnormal sound generated by friction between the brake shoe and brake drum. When encountering this situation, simply disassemble the brake drum, remove the brake shoe, and clean any foreign objects between them to resolve the issue. If foreign materials are adhered to the brake shoe, use coarse sandpaper to grind them off until separated, then reinstall to solve the problem. If you notice that increased force is required for braking, immediately stop using the vehicle and visit an after-sales service or repair shop as soon as possible to replace the brake shoes. Continued use under such conditions may lead to dangerous situations. Generally, squealing from rear brakes is caused by water ingress, excessively smooth brake pads, or substandard brake pads. First remove the brake disc; if it appears too smooth, sand it with sandpaper or a flat file, and replace the brake pads if necessary.
