Signs Your Brakes Need Replacing
Being able to detect the warning signs of potential brake issues and when you should have them replaced can be the difference in avoiding a potential accident or further damage to your vehicle over time. Here are a few signs that you should know for your vehicle to be serviced and have your brakes replaced:
- Squeaking Noises – This is a sign that your brake pads are worn down. This can eventually turn to a grinding sound, which means your brake pads are in immediate need of replacement to avoid damage to the rotors.
- Vibrations When Braking – Any shaking or vibrating from your vehicle as you brake can be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes. It may be that the rotors are not smooth anymore and your brakes are working unevenly.
- Longer Stop Times – If your brakes are in good condition, you should be able to quickly stop in reaction to anything in front of you. If you are noticing that it takes your vehicle longer to come to a complete stop, your brakes may not be as effective and need replacing.
- Brake Light – If your brake light appears on the dashboard, it means that something may be wrong within the brake system. Have your vehicle checked by an expert to determine the problem.
Knowing these signs can save you time in addressing any potential issue with your brakes. This can help you be on top of your vehicle’s condition and have any repairs completed in a timely manner.
