TROUBLESHOOTING - BRAKE SYSTEM

BRAKE NOISE TROUBLESHOOTING

Dirt or dust buildup on the brake pads and disc is the most common cause of brake noise (squeal caused by vibration).
If cleaning does not reduce the occurrence of brake noise, Permatex™ Disc Brake Quiet can be applied to the back of
the pads. Follow directions on the package. This will keep pads in contact with caliper piston(s) to reduce the chance
of squeaks caused by dirt or dust.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Dirt, dust, or imbedded material on pads or disc
Pad(s) dragging on disc (noise or premature pad wear)
because of improper adjustment
Master cylinder reservoir overfilled
Master cylinder compensating port restricted
Master cylinder piston not returning completely
Caliper piston(s) not returning
Operator error (riding the brake)
Loose wheel hub or bearings
Brake disc warped or excessively worn
Brake disc misaligned or loose
Noise is from other source (axle, hub, disc or wheel)
