What does the brake disc guard do?
The main functions of the brake disc protector include:
Prevent soil and gravel intrusion: the protection plate can effectively prevent the dirt and gravel brought up by the wheel rolling to the brake disc, avoid impurities attached to the brake disc, resulting in abnormal wear and performance decline.
Suspension and brake dust protection: The shield prevents dust generated during braking from spreading onto the suspension system, reducing corrosion and wear of suspension parts.
Auxiliary heat dissipation: While the guard plate may not be very friendly to heat dissipation, it still helps to keep the brake system at the proper temperature in most cases, especially on non-high-performance vehicles.
Prevent water splashing and physical damage: The guard also prevents water from splashing onto the hot brake disc, reducing the risk of physical damage to the brake disc.
In short, the brake disc protector is an important safety component, which protects the brake system by preventing foreign body intrusion and assisting heat dissipation to ensure the safety and performance of the vehicle.
Brake disc friction plate sound reasons may include brake disc deformation, brake plate wear serious, there is foreign body between disk and pads, brake disc set screw is lost or damaged, period or just changed new car brake lining, brake pads upside or inconsistent models use inferior, , abnormal high brake pads, brake wheel cylinder, lack of brake fluid.
Brake disc deformation: When the thickness of the brake disc changes in the circular direction, may cause abnormal sound. In this case it is usually necessary to replace or repair the brake disc.
Brake disc wear: brake disc wear will form a deep groove on the disc, the friction between the brake disc and the edge of the groove will produce abnormal noise. if the groove is not deep, can be solved by grinding the edge of the brake pad; If the groove is deep the brake disc needs to be replaced.
There are foreign bodies between the brake pads and the brake disc: such as pebbles or water film and other foreign bodies enter, will cause abnormal noise. After driving for a period of time, the noise may slowly disappear, or you can remove the foreign matter on your own.
Loss or damage of disc setting screws: will result in abnormal braking noise, damaged screws need to be repaired or replaced.
The new car running-in period or just changed the brake pads: will have a certain abnormal sound, is a normal phenomenon, after running in the abnormal sound will disappear.
Brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match: will cause abnormal brake sound, need to install the brake pads in line with the model, if the reverse installation, need to reinstall the brake pads.
The use of inferior, strong brake pads: will lead to abnormal brake sound, need to replace other brands of brake pads.
Abnormal brake sub-pump, brake fluid shortage: leads to abnormal brake sound, need to check and repair the brake sub-pump, add brake fluid.
In short, when the brake disc is found to have abnormal sound, the owner should check and repair in time, to ensure driving safety.
