What to Do About Noise from Newly Replaced Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Newly replaced brake pads making noise can be addressed with the following solutions: Method 1: Sand the brake pads by slightly grinding off the edges so they don't contact the outermost part of the brake disc, preventing friction-induced noise. Method 2: Resurface the brake disc, also known as disc skimming. Remove the brake disc and take it to a machining workshop to resurface it on a lathe, smoothing out the disc's surface. After resurfacing, there will be no ridges, allowing better alignment with the brake pads. Don't forget that brake discs also have a lifespan—generally, they should be replaced when the wear depth exceeds 2mm, with a maximum limit of 3mm. Once they reach the end of their lifespan, they should be replaced promptly and not resurfaced further.
