Brakes are one of the most important parts of a vehicle. They are your primary line of defense against accidents. If their performance seems faulty, you should have your brakes checked immediately. Are your brakes squealing? To diagnose the problem, we will need to know how it works first.
When you press down on the brake pedal, force is transmitted by the brake fluid throughout the braking system. The brake fluid multiplies the force of your foot. That is why an average man of a hundred and fifty pounds can produce a force enough to make a one ton car stop. Brake fluid transmits the force to your brake discs. The brake pads then latch on to discs that stop the wheel. Hence, the car stops. The process is more complicated, but this is as simple as I can explain it.
So, when your brakes start making noise, don’t panic just yet. It’s not as serious as it sounds, believe me. The primary cause for brake squealing is a worn out brake pad. This means that your pads have exceeded their recommended time of use. Another cause is that the brake pads collide against the caliper, to create that sound. This case calls for a little lubrication, and then you’re as good as new. It is necessary to make the braking system well-lubricated to ensure a seamless transfer of force.
