What causes squeaky car brakes

Poor Brake Pad quality may be one of the causes of brake squeaking. If the quality of the brake pads is too poor, it will cause certain damage to the brake discs, resulting in squeaking when braking.

Difficult road conditions can also cause squeaky brakes. When the vehicle is driving on a complex road, the tire may throw up foreign bodies such as stones and enter between the brake pads and the disc, causing serious wear and uneven brake discs, and then issuing a crunch. In order to avoid this situation, the owner should try to avoid driving in complex road conditions.

Brake discs are badly worn. If there are potholes or collision marks on the surface of the Brake Disc, it will affect the friction between the brake pad and the brake disc and squeak. The solution is to replace the severely worn brake disc.

The brake pads need to be replaced. If the brake pad is too thin, it will affect the braking performance of the brake, and accompanied by a crunch. Brake pads usually need to be replaced regularly, and the replacement cycle is usually about 60 to 80 thousand kilometers.

There are many causes of brake squeaking, but most can be solved by replacing the brake pads or brake discs. Owners should pay attention to replace brake pads and discs regularly to ensure driving safety.
