What to Do If There Is Abnormal Noise After Replacing Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise from brake pads can affect normal driving. The causes and solutions for abnormal noise after replacing new brake pads are as follows: 1. There is abnormal noise when braking, but no noise when not braking. This situation is caused by wear between the brake pads and the brake disc. After prolonged use, the old brake pads and brake disc have formed a certain complementary shape. When new brake pads are installed, the edges of the pads may not make even contact with the brake disc, leading to friction and abnormal noise. Solution: First, sand the edges of the brake pads to ensure they do not rub against the brake disc, which can eliminate the noise. If this does not work, the brake disc must be sanded and polished using a brake disc resurfacing machine to resolve the issue. 2. Issues with the brake pad material. If non-standard brake pads are used, the larger particles in the material can easily cause abnormal noise when braking. Solution: Replace with high-quality brake pads, such as ceramic brake pads.
