It is normal for the newly replaced brake pads to squeak. This happens because after the owner has replaced the brake pads, the brake disc is not replaced or the disc is processed on the brake disc. After the vehicle is replaced with a new brake pad, it will make a noise because the brake pad is running in with the brake disc. How long the sound lasts to stop mainly depends on the type of new brake pads. Some brake pads with a harder material have a longer running-in time, and some brake pads with a softer material have a shorter running-in time. It will also depend on the owner's driving habits and driving. The environment determines the time for the brake pads to run-in. Generally speaking, when the owner travels about 500 kilometers, the brake pads will run-in and the sound will disappear.

The vehicle brake system is braked by the friction generated by the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc. The brake pads and the brake disc have been rubbed for so long, and it is impossible for the brake pads to wear out. The inside and outside of the brake disc have been worn with the old brake pads. The friction is grooving. Moreover, the surface of the new brake pads is smooth and flat. When rubbing against the brake pads, the contact area will be relatively small and squeaks will appear.

Brake pads generally need to be replaced after 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Because the brake pads will be polished and become very thin during driving, which affects the safety of the driving vehicle, it is necessary to replace the brake pads to ensure the owner's Safety. If the owner's driving habits and driving environment are not very good, the brake pads will be severely worn and replaced in advance. The thickness of the brake pad is 2.5 cm. If the thickness is polished to 0.5 cm, it needs to be replaced.
