Worn Out Brake Pad Results In Squealing Noise Upon Braking
We had this 2017 Hyundai Elantra visit one of our MotoFyx car repair workshop for an annual service along with a concern relating to a peculiar noise upon braking. The car was sparingly used over the past few months, recently when the car was used there were noises being observed while braking and the brake pedal was reportedly hard and ineffective in efficiently stopping the car, resulting in longer stopping distance. Concerned about driving the car in such a state and as the annual service was long overdue, the car owner reached out to us for immediate assistance.
Upon a detailed inspection of the car by our expert technicians, an initial road trial did indicate poor braking performance. While performing the annual service it was observed that the front pad material had become hard and had developed uneven wear, on account of inferior frictional material used in them thereby lowering the frictional grip upon braking. The front brake discs in the process had developed uneven wear by means of being in contact with the brake pads. While the front brake pads required immediate replacement, the front brake disc required surface levelling by means of skimming.
*Function of brake pads:
- Brake pads are frictional shoe material located on both sides of the disc rotor inside a caliber clamp to stop the motion and bring the car to rest
- When brakes are hydraulically applied, the calliper clamps squeeze the two pads together onto the spinning rotor in order to slow/stop the car
*Symptoms of worn-out brake pads:
- Squealing noise while braking
- Ineffective braking
- Burning smell upon braking
- Vibrations
- Spongy brake pedal
*Solution:
- Front brake disc was surface levelled in a lathe machine
- The worn out front brake pads were replaced with new brake pads
- Annual service was performed
*Pricing
