When the brakes creaked

Towards the dry season, the rain came down erratically. The result can be instantly soaked car and as soon as it's too dry. And sometimes creaked when the brake was activated in the two conditions.

Most consumers are very concerned about the advent of sound. But the sound is actually not all that there is a corresponding damage to the car brakes.
Brake noise can arise because of the canvas.

However there are so sound that indicates the car's brakes would need to get treatment or even replacement. Here are some causes of brake noise that can be used as a benchmark. Also need to know the pros and cons when you use genuine or counterfeit products that are generally sold at lower prices ..

The sound is fairly normal
Otherwise normal creaked when the noise only appears when applying the brakes gently. But it was not issued any noise when the brake is pressed suddenly.

Sound appears fairly normal, mostly because of the brake pad that is now being traded is the type of semi-metallic. And usually is used for front-wheel drive cars (front wheel drive) and minivans.

Sounds suspicious
Berdenyitnya brake noise that occurs at any time the component is enabled. Generally the sound is accompanied by a vibration in the pedal when the driver hit the brakes.

If this happens immediately recommended him to the garage. Damage that causes symptoms like this can happen on the canvas, rotors and calipers. Usually the replacement of components must be accompanied by the service brakes on the other.

Replace the original component
It is recommended to replace the canvas and the original brake pad for your car. Brake pad and the break is made from superior quality just is not very hard. But also not too soft. These components are made rather soft sangaja braking process that goes up with a canvas or a pad that is designed more quickly exhausted.

On the less good quality product, made of very hard material, so that will make the drum (drum) or dish (dish) brake easily scratched. Such damage would make the brake circuit is not working optimally.

Avoid drum and disk repair
Most of the workshop suggested to re-lathe (leveled) drum or disc brakes in the event of the basin or scratches. In theory this could have been running as normal. Especially when turning just a little effort to flatten the curvature or scratches on this component.




But in fact this activity made the drum or disc brakes easily after undergoing turning it brittle. For the flattening process requires high heat also cause it to become brittle components.

The results of the turning or resurfacing eat too much 'meat' of components can also make a drum or disc rupture when activated at the next opportunity.

This activity is only recommended for emergencies. Immediately replace the drum or disc brakes with new products at the next opportunity.

    beware when it rains

    There are many things to watch out for when it rains, including when you drive down the highway standing water on the road. Here we remind you to always be careful:
    1. Note the air inlet on your car if you go through a flooded street. Do not force yourself to go through a puddle of water whose height exceeds the height of the air inlet. In the sedan cars in general are behind the headlights, while on minibuses located on the fender.
    2. If you are stuck flooding and standing water remains below the hole and air channel ignition system then you do not need to turn off the engine exhaust while submerged. Exhaust gas pressure will block the water entering the exhaust. If the engine exhaust even death had no pressure so the water would immediately break into. Just run the car slowly in high rotation at the lowest transmission gear position with a stable.
    3. When driving on wet roads, you should reduce speed. The road is wet it will likely happen is the formation of a layer Aquaplanning triangle between the tire and the road surface. This will make the car lose traction and braking ability.
    4. If you are driving in the rain accompanied by lightning darting you should turn off the car radio. Some of the components inside the car radio is very susceptible terhadapa lightning disturbances.
    5. If the wiper eraser glass jam or run out of water when you are in the middle of the road when it rains. Try to trick an emergency. Look for a shop and buy a dab of soap. Apply soap lengthwise on the top edge of the windshield. Chemicals in the soap will make direct rain water slipping down so that you avoid the frosted glass.
    6. After passing the flood, it is important to check the brakes. Brake components are submerged in water can cause rust and cause damage.
