What to Do When Brake Pad Rust Causes Car Tire to Lock Up?
1 Answers
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.
