The Symptoms of Brake Failure
Our team is here and ready to service your vehicle with new brakes. Obviously, your brakes are an essential component of your car, truck, or SUV. But how do you tell when it is time to replace them? Generally speaking, brakes have an expiration date. Under normal use, you can expect your brake pads to last between 25,000 to 65,000 miles. Besides the age of your breaks, you can pay attention to the following warning signs.
Some of the Warning Signs
You can check for wear by looking at the brake pads through the spaces between the wheel spokes. If there is less than ¼ inch of pad, then it might be time to replace your brakes.
Does your brake pedal “sink” to the floor? Are they not as responsive as in the past? These are clear-cut signs that you need new brakes.
When your vehicle pulls to one side while you brake, it is a sign that the linings are wearing unevenly. This is a problem that needs solving - with new brakes.
Loud grinding or growling noises are the easiest sign to discern because they are so unusual. This problem occurs when there is no longer enough pad between pieces of metal.
If there is a vibration or pulsation when you brake, this is a sign of warped rotors. In many cases, rotor repair must accompany brake repair.
