My breaks on my car started squeaking and I know that means I need to replace them. I’m just wondering how the mechanical system works.
In: Engineering
The material they make brakes out of today is specifically made not to squeak. They put a lot of money into research to make sure of that.
They also add a little metal clip that will make that squeak when your brakes are almost worn away. Without that, the first squeak would mean that you were clear through your brake pads, and you’d have trouble stopping. The clip should give you enough warning so you get them replaced before they can cause problems.
