Suspension services are offered in repair shops all across the country. But why is that, you might ask? The short answer is that they are the second system that comes into contact with the road, the first being the tires.

But what causes this noise, and is it something to be worried about? Worn brake pads: One of the most common causes of squeaking or squealing brakes is worn brake pads.

This is a warning sign that your brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Glazed brake pads: Another possible cause of squeaking or squealing brakes is glazed brake pads. This occurs when the brake pads become too hot and the friction material melts and hardens, creating a glossy surface. Glazed brake pads can't grip the rotor effectively, and as a result, can cause noise. Moisture on the brake pads: Moisture can also cause squeaking or squealing brak ... read more
