Why is the brake making a loud noise?
1 Answers
Brakes making loud noises are usually caused by rusted brake pads or excessive wear between the brake disc and brake pads. Braking is achieved through intense friction between the brake pads and the brake drum. A brake is a mechanical device used to slow down the speed of a vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake linkage, which applies pressure and transfers it to the brake pads on the brake drum, clamping the brake rotor and causing the car to slow down or stop. The manual brake in a car is located next to the gear shift and is connected to the brake lever. Common examples also include bicycle brakes, which use rod-shaped brakes fixed to the frame or disc brakes to slow down the vehicle.
