What's that noise??

Nobody enjoys noisy brakes!  More than that, nobody likes what noisy brakes might mean ($$ wise).  We've got some good news; certain noises are characteristic of all braking systems and are unavoidable.  These noises may not be indicating improper operation of a braking system.  

Squeak/Squeal Noise:
  • Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is applied to the brake pedal.
  • Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes and/or high humidity.

Grinding Noise:
  • Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been parked overnight.
  • Caused by trace amounts of corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use.  Usually disappears after a few stops.

Groan Noise:
  • A small groan may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete stop. This is normal.

Several factors impact brake lining wear including but not limited to:
  • Heavy loads
  • High Temperatures
  • Towing
  • Mountainous Terrain
  • City Driving
  • Aggressive Driving
  • Driver Braking Characteristics (left foot or tow foot driving)

Although the noises listed above are common on all braking systems, we do suggest that if a noise or problem persists for a long period of time or is concerning give us a call!  We can perform a brake inspection while you wait. Give us a call today 619-562-3933
