Why does the newly replaced brake pad make noise when reversing?
1 Answers
Reasons for noise from newly replaced brake pads when reversing: Generally, new brake pads will produce abnormal noise after replacement. How long the noise lasts mainly depends on the type of brake pads, as different types require different break-in periods. Brake pad maintenance: The effectiveness of a car's braking system is largely determined by the brake pads, which are crucial for the vehicle. Regular inspection and protection are essential. Under normal driving conditions, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. This includes checking not only the remaining thickness but also the wear condition of the pads, whether both sides are wearing evenly, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormalities should be addressed immediately. Brake pads should be replaced when the remaining thickness is about 0.5 cm. Brake pad replacement: When replacing brake pads, it is best to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. This ensures the best braking performance and minimizes wear between the brake pads and discs. After replacement, be sure to press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the pads and the brake disc. Failure to do so may result in no braking response on the first press, which can easily lead to accidents.
