What is the Easy Solution to Squeaky Brakes?
1 Answers
The easy solutions to squeaky brakes are as follows: 1. The wear indicator emits a sharp noise as a replacement reminder: When the brake pads wear beyond the specified warning value, the wear indicator will emit a piercing noise to alert the owner to promptly inspect or replace the brake pads at a repair shop. If not replaced in time, the metal wear indicator will carve fatal grooves into the brake disc, rendering it unusable. Additionally, worn-out brake pads may lead to brake failure, causing serious accidents. 2. Severely worn brake discs produce abnormal noises: If the brake disc is severely worn, the outer edges not in contact with the brake pads will form a raised rim relative to the friction surface. If the corners of the brake pads rub against this raised edge, abnormal noises may occur. There are generally two solutions: either have the edges of the brake pads ground down at a repair shop to avoid contact with the raised edge of the brake disc, or directly replace the brake disc. 3. A sharp, piercing noise when braking: Many owners of new cars assume that a sharp noise when braking indicates a quality issue. However, new brake pads and discs require a break-in period. When braking, if the pads happen to rub against a hard spot, this noise may occur. Applying some lubricant at a repair shop can help reduce the noise.
