Why does the car feel like it can't stop after replacing new brake discs?
1 Answers
This is a normal phenomenon that requires a break-in period. Avoid emergency braking within 500 kilometers. Here are methods to determine whether brake discs need replacement: 1. Listen for sounds: If abnormal noises accompany light braking, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This indicates the wear indicators on both sides of the brake pads are directly contacting the brake disc, proving the pads have exceeded their limit. 2. Warning light: Typically, the brake disc warning light on the dashboard serves as the primary indicator for replacement. Normally this light remains off; it illuminates when the brake discs are faulty or excessively worn, then turns off after repair. 3. Check thickness: Most brake disc products have wear indicators - three small dimples distributed on the disc surface. Measure the dimple depth with calipers (1.5mm standard). When total wear on both sides reaches 3mm, prompt replacement is recommended.
