Why does a new car squeak when braking?
1 Answers
The reasons why a new car squeaks when braking: 1. Brake pads not yet broken in: If the car is new or the brake pads have just been replaced, they need to be broken in. It is normal for brake pads to produce unusual noises during the break-in period; 2. Brake pad installation issue: If the brake pads were not properly installed during assembly, they may rub against the caliper, causing unusual noises. In this case, the brake pads should be reinstalled or replaced with new ones; 3. Tire friction: When turning in a rubber-surfaced parking lot, the car may also produce unusual noises due to normal friction between the tires and the ground, which can be mistaken for brake noise. This is a normal occurrence.
