Signs Your Brakes Need Repairs or Replacement
Understanding when your brakes need attention is crucial for your vehicle's safety and longevity. Recognizing the early signs of brake problems can ensure your safety and help you avoid costly repairs.
Common Indicators That Your Brakes Need Servicing:
- Squeaking or Grinding Sound: These noises are often the first signs of brake pad wear, indicating they need replacement.
- Vibration: Feeling a vibration when applying the brakes could be a sign of warped rotors that need resurfacing or replacement.
- Longer Stopping Distance: If your car take is taking longer to stop than usual, it indicates that your brakes require immediate attention.
- Brake Warning Light: A lit brake warning light on your dashboard signals that it's time for a brake inspection.
- Spongy Brake Pedal: A brake pedal that feels spongy or soft can be caused by air in the brake lines or problems with the master cylinder.
- Burning Smell: A burning smell while driving may indicate overheated brakes or a stuck brake caliper, both requiring immediate inspection.
