How to avoid the squeaking of the brakes on our car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

The video suggests one of the systems to avoid squeaking and brakes on our car, and it is certainly the most sensible regarding rather old cars: it consists of removing the dust produced by the brakes, and the road debris that can accumulate and cause noise, also using a lubricant with the contact points, which can vibrate and cause squeaks. Let's also make sure that the calipers slide freely and do not have rust. Of course, another suggestion is to replace worn pads, and pads come in different materials: ceramic ones are quieter than metallic ones. Let's also check the condition of the discs, which may be deformed or corroded. Very useful can also be the anti-noise shims that help absorb vibrations, and that can be purchased separately from the pads.
