Three Signs That Indicate You Might Need New Brakes?

You know the importance of properly maintaining your vehicle. Failure to replace parts at the first sign of wear or damage can be very costly. Here are some signs that may indicate you have a break problem. Consult your mechanic if you are concerned about the brakes or any other vehicle performance issue.

Accident

1. If you notice your brake pedal pulsating, it may be a sign that you need to replace your brakes. This may mean that the break pad has warped or worn out, often due to heat.

2. If your break pedal loses pressure when you depress it this could be an indication of a leak in break fluid.

3. Make sure to listen for strange noises when you are breaking. Any rattling or clicking when you break could mean a problem. Squeaking sounds indicate your break pads are worn and need replaced. If you wait too long to check these problems, you could end up hearing a grinding sound, which means that you may be doing damage to your break rotors.

Again, any of these warning signs should be taken care of immediately. If caught early, break issues are fairly manageable with relatively low costs. However, if left untreated, break problems can mean very costly repairs for your vehicle.
