Today we look into the reasons for brake noise and squeal and it may be not what you think!
Brakes are the last thing you want to get wrong on your customer’s car. Not only is it time consuming, it could be a major safety issue! Check out our guide to the most common problem after a service.
Problem: Noise.
Cause: We fitted new brake pads and they squeal. Why?
Solution: Squeal is caused by vibration of any component under braking.
Check the following points:
Does the rotor face look uneven?
If the rubbing surface of the pad does not have 100% contact, then noise can occur. Redo bedding in procedures and check.
Brake hardware, caliper, guide pins, binding, abutment clip damage/ binding, brakes dragging
Some pads use a grease in between the shim, Bendix Ceramasil Brake Parts Lubricant can be used, for all vehicles, to obtain the best noise performance adding the grease is recommended
Use your Bendix Catalogue App or the online catalogue to check if the right pads have been fitted to the vehicle. Ensure the anti-squeal shims supplied are fitted correctly with the Bendix brake pads. Check if you have used the correct lubricant, such as Bendix Ceramasil Brake Parts Lubricant on the right components. The calipers may require a complete overhaul if the car has high mileage.
