DB Squeaking is one of the more common brake noises drivers notice, and while it isn't always serious, it's worth understanding what could be causing it.
Common causes
- Worn brake pads, particularly if they have wear indicators
- Dust or debris on the pad or disc surface
- Pad material or contamination
- Glazing on the pad surface from heat
- Moisture, particularly after rain or overnight
When it's worth investigating
Occasional light squeaking, especially after damp conditions, isn't unusual. But persistent or new squeaking is worth having checked, particularly if it's accompanied by other symptoms.
Getting it checked
Brake noise can have several causes, from pad condition and contamination to other component issues, so having the system inspected is more reliable than guessing.
DB Autos can investigate squeaking brakes and advise on the cause. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
