What causes noise when applying brakes?

Sometimes, new brake pads need to be broken in.

With so many possible causes, a squeaking or squealing noise can be difficult to diagnose.

Why is there a noise when I brake?

When the pads and shoes wear down, it can result in a metallic grinding noise, as the backing plate starts making contact with the rotor or drum. Brake pads also have a metal wear indicator that drags on the rotors when the pads are worn out. This will make a grinding or squealing noise.

Can I spray WD40 on my brakes to stop squeaking?

WD40 should not be put on your brakes since it can reduce friction where it is needed and even break down and damage brake components. While spraying WD40 may temporarily reduce a brake squeal or squeak, it could also cause the brakes not to function correctly when you need them most.
