Signs You Need a Brake Pad Replacement
Being aware of the signs that indicate worn brake pads can prevent potential hazards and damage to your vehicle.
Here are some common indicators that it might need a brake pad evaluation:
- Squealing or Grinding Noises: High-pitched squeals may indicate worn-out pads. This friction between the pad indicators and rotors is an early warning that prevents metal from grinding.
- Reduced Responsiveness: Longer stopping distances or a soft brake pedal signal trouble. This could result from air in the brake lines or worn-out pads that fail to generate enough friction.
- Vibration When Braking: Warped pads or rotors often cause vibrations. These vibrations could be due to uneven surfaces on the rotor caused by prolonged brake pad wear.
- Brake Indicator Light: This light on your dashboard should never be ignored. It often indicates fluid loss or other critical brake system issues that require immediate attention.
- Visible Wear Indicator: Pads below the recommended thickness need replacement. The wear indicator is often a small metal tab that becomes visible or creates noise when the pads are too thin.
