Why is the braking sound harsh?
1 Answers
Harsh braking sounds may be caused by worn brake pads, foreign objects in the brake pads, or the break-in period of newly replaced brake pads. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Worn brake pads: When a car has been used for many years or has high mileage, the brake pads may age and wear out, leading to abnormal noises. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced at a 4S shop. 2. Foreign objects in the brake pads: If the car has driven through muddy or bumpy roads, small stones or other debris may get stuck in the brake pads, causing friction and abnormal noises. This situation only requires cleaning the brake pads. 3. Break-in period of newly replaced brake pads: When new brake pads are installed, there might be some noise initially. This usually resolves after driving for a while to allow the pads to break in. If the noise persists after some time, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for professional inspection.
