Squeaky brakes are a common issue, and while they might be annoying, they’re often harmless. Here’s why your brakes might squeak:
Worn Brake Pads: As brake pads wear down, they can produce a squeaking sound. It’s a sign they might need replacing.
Brake Dust & Debris: Dust, dirt, or debris trapped between the brake pads and rotor can cause squeaking.
Moisture: Damp conditions, like rain or humidity, can cause temporary squeaking as water evaporates from the pads.
Glazed Pads or Rotors: If the brake pads or rotors become glazed due to excessive heat, it can lead to squeaking.
Lack of Lubrication: If the metal parts of the brake system aren’t properly lubricated, they can rub together and create noise.
New Brake Pads: New pads may squeak until they’re properly bedded in.
If your check engine light is on, it’s important to get your car scanned for error codes. A mechanic can help identify the cause and recommend the appropriate repairs.
