What is the reason for brake noise after replacing brake pads?
1 Answers
After replacing the brake pads, the reason for brake noise is that the brake pads have not yet adapted to the brake disc and are in the break-in period. Brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction lining and friction block bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Precautions for purchasing brake pads: 1. Check the friction coefficient, which determines the braking torque of the brake pads. Too high a coefficient can cause wheel lock-up, loss of directional control, and burning of the pads during braking, while too low a coefficient results in longer braking distances. 2. Consider safety. Brake pads generate high temperatures during braking. At high speeds or during emergency braking, the friction coefficient of the lining decreases under high temperatures. 3. Check for comfort, including braking feel, noise, dust, smoke, and odor.
