Why Does the Brake Make Noise When Pressed?
1 Answers
Car brakes making abnormal noises can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. The vehicle may be equipped with ABS. When pressing the brake, you might sometimes feel a rebound, especially on uneven roads, which can even cause a jerking sensation. This is a normal phenomenon. If this is not due to ABS, it is recommended to have it checked at a 4S shop. 2. The most common reason for squeaky brakes is worn brake pads. When the brake pads become too thin, the brake drum comes into direct contact with the vehicle, causing metal-to-metal friction and resulting in noise. If the brake pads are too thin, a warning indicator will light up, but sometimes it may not illuminate until reaching the preset limit. If the brake pads are found to be in good condition upon inspection, normal driving can continue.
