Severe rust on brake pads can cause unevenness on the brake disc surface, leading to the phenomenon of the tire locking up. Below are the solutions: 1. Minor rust: If there is only slight rust on the surface, you can use continuous braking while driving to remove it. The friction between the brake pads and the brake disc will 'polish' the surface. 2. Multiple rust spots: If there are multiple rust spots, it is best to drive the car to a repair shop, remove the brake disc, and use sandpaper to clean off the rust. Ensure the brake pad surface is normal, then reassemble and conduct a road test. 3. Inspection method: Drive on a flat road at 70km/h and perform multiple brakes to ensure there are no abnormalities. If there is shaking, it indicates the brake disc surface is uneven, requiring further polishing or replacement as needed.

What are the symptoms of a faulty alternator carbon brush in a car?

When the alternator carbon brush in a car is faulty, it can cause symptoms such as the starter not turning or turning weakly, and the inability to generate electricity. A carbon brush motor can last up to 2000 hours under good commutation conditions, but under extreme conditions, it might only last 1000 hours. Generally, carbon brush motors can have a lifespan ranging from 1000 to 3000 hours. The reasons for carbon brush sparking in the alternator include: 1. Dirty surfaces on the slip ring, carbon brush, brush holder, and brush frame; 2. Sticking edges of the brush holder and uneven spring pressure; 3. Significant vibration in the unit's shaft system, causing the slip ring to vibrate as well; 4. Poor contact of the carbon brush, leading to increased contact resistance and uneven current distribution among the carbon brushes, resulting in sparking.
