Will the stones on the brake disc come out automatically?

Stones on the brake disc can come out automatically. If you notice that a small stone is stuck in the brake and it gets stuck in roughly the same position each time, you should check whether the gap between the brake pads and the brake disc is too large. If so, you can take your car to a repair shop and have a mechanic adjust the distance between the brake pads and the brake disc. The brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. When you press the brake, the brake caliper clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. The brake disc is a crucial component of the braking system and can be categorized into disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Structurally, they can be divided into solid brake discs and ventilated discs, while in terms of material, they can be classified as carbon fiber ceramic brake discs and metal brake discs.
You mentioned whether stones in the brake disc would come out on their own. I’ve had personal experience with this. Once while driving, I suddenly heard a sharp grinding noise. After stopping and checking, I found a small stone stuck between the brake disc and the brake pad. The braking pressure is so strong that the stone can’t come out on its own because the brake pad is pressed tightly against the brake disc. Unless you manually remove it or gently brake at low speed to let the stone fall out, in most cases, it will stay stuck. Over time, it may scratch the brake disc, affect braking performance, or even create safety hazards. So, if this happens, I recommend immediately finding a safe place to stop and inspect, then using a tool to pry the stone out. Preventive measures are also important, such as avoiding roads with lots of stones and regularly cleaning the brake system to reduce the chances of this happening. In short, don’t expect it to fall out automatically—you need to take timely action yourself.
