Why are the new brake pads on my Hyundai making strange sounds?

• It could be due to the protective coating. The pads are coated during production and the coating causes a squeaking sound, which usually stops after the bedding-in process.
• Some components contain a high amount of steel fibres. Semi-metallic components make more noise than organic or ceramic ones.
• These sounds could also be caused by brake disc corrosion. The brake discs corrode due to water condensation. During braking, flecks of corroded material may remain on the surface of the pads.
• Another possible cause is brake glazing. This occurs when the components overheat and may dissipate after the brakes have cooled down. However, in some cases, these parts will need to be replaced.
• It is also possible that the pads do not fit properly. The new Hyundai brake pads will have a perfectly flat surface, while the old brake discs will be slightly uneven. Additionally, if the pistons or calliper guides become stiff, the applied pressure is unevenly distributed, which causes the components to warp.

Are all the brake pads for Hyundai vehicles the same?

No. They vary in terms of size and capacity. Moreover, new parts must correspond to the specifications of the original parts.

When choosing the material of the pad linings, the driving conditions of the vehicle should be taken into consideration. For example, for driving at moderate speeds in the city, choose components that are quiet and produce minimal dust. Heat resistance and thermal conductivity are the most important factors for powerful sports car models and heavy-duty off-road vehicles. Drivers who like driving at high speeds are also advised to consider the thermal resistance of the pads.

Which manufacturers produce reliable brake pads for my vehicle?

Products from brands such as ABE, Ridex, AISIN, Ferodo, ATE, Bosch, Febi Bilstein, and Blue Print are considered to be high-quality and reliable.
