Recognizing Common Brake Problems and Warning Signs
Your vehicle communicates through various warning signs when your brakes require attention. Stay vigilant for these indications of brake issues:
- Squealing or squeaking sounds
- Grinding sensations when coming to a stop
- Shaking or vibrations in the steering column
- Spongy brake pedal
- Vehicle pulling to one side during braking
- Wobbling or vibrations at highway speeds
Common brake problems often stem from worn brake pads or rotors. Brake pads generate friction to slow down your vehicle, while rotors dissipate heat to prevent overheating. These components play a crucial role in maintaining optimal brake performance. Should either of these parts be damaged, our skilled technicians can promptly replace them.
Low brake fluid levels can also contribute to brake problems. Brake fluid amplifies the force you apply to the brake pedal, allowing your vehicle to slow down or stop effectively. Additionally, it protects the internal metal components of your brakes from corrosion.
