It became known about what malfunctions the creaking brakes signal

The appearance of creak during braking may indicate wear of the pads, malfunction of the caliper or low quality of the friction material. Ignore the extraneous sound is not worth it, because the serviceability of the brake system directly depends on traffic safety. This writes the portal “AutoVzglyad”.

One of the common causes of creaking is abrasion of brake pads. In some models, a special wear indicator is provided, which, when in contact with the disk, emits a characteristic sound, warning the driver about the need to replace parts. However, creaking can also occur due to malfunction of the caliper, for example, if pollution or corrosion prevent it from working normally.

Extraneous noise sometimes appears after a long parking: rust forms on the brake discs, which the pads are washed when moving. If the sound disappears after a few kilometers, it may be due to normal corrosion. If the creak does not stop, the brake system must be checked.

Another possible reason is poor quality shoes. Due to the inappropriate composition of the friction lining, they can make noise immediately after installation. At the same time, such parts can accelerate the wear of brake discs, so saving on their purchase can turn into more expensive repairs.

The material notes that squeaking should be perceived as a signal of a possible problem, and not as a harmless extraneous sound. When it appears, it is important to establish the cause and, if necessary, seek a diagnosis of the brake system.

Earlier, motorists called the cause of frequent damage to the headlights of the car.

Motorists were also warned of danger due to seat covers.
