Why Does the Newly Replaced Brake Pads Make Noise at Low Speed?
1 Answers
Brake pad noise can affect normal driving. The reasons and solutions for noise from newly replaced brake pads are as follows: 1. Noise occurs when braking, but not when not braking: This situation is caused by the wear between the brake pads and the brake disc. After prolonged use, the old brake pads and brake disc have formed a certain complementary shape. When new brake pads are installed, the edges of the brake pads may not make even contact with the brake disc, leading to friction and noise. 2. Issues with brake pad material: If non-standard brake pads are used, the larger particles in the material can easily cause noise during braking. 3. Solutions: For the first situation, the edges of the brake pads need to be smoothed to ensure no friction occurs between the brake pads and the brake disc, thus eliminating the noise. If this doesn't work well, a brake disc repair machine can be used to grind and polish the brake disc to solve the problem. For quality issues, it is necessary to replace them with good-quality brake pads.
