Brakes

The brakes of a vehicle are one of the most critical components when it comes to overall safety. They are responsible for bringing your car to a stop and prevent it from moving, and so, it is vital to keep them in perfect working condition all the time.

how to Spot Faulty Brakes

One of the most common signs of brake wear is a squealing or grinding noise when applying the brakes. The grinding noise often indicates that the brake pads are worn out and need replacing. If this noise persists, it could also mean that the rotors are also worn out and need turning or replacing. In some cases, the pedal may feel spongy or mushy and likely indicates that there is air in the brake lines or a problem with the master cylinder. An unresponsive brake pedal could also mean trouble with the master cylinder, or even a brake leak.

Another sign of failing brakes is a vibration in the pedal or steering wheel when applying the brakes. This usually means that the rotors have become warped or damaged due to being worn past the point of replacement. It is important not to ignore this as it can cause a loss of braking power.

In general, you should always keep an eye on your brakes, especially if you tend to frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in hilly areas. Regular visual inspection is also important to catch any potential issues early on. A sudden increase in stopping distances can also indicate that your brakes are no longer functioning as they should.
