Brake Safety: Know the Warning Signs

  • A grinding or squealing sound when you press the brake pedal
    That squeal or grind is your car asking for help. It often means your brake pads are worn out. Take a look at the pads. If less than about 6mm (1/4 inch) is left, it is time for new ones. When a pad wears right down, the metal backing rubs on the rotor and makes a grinding sound. Many European cars also have a wear sensor that lights up a warning on your dash.
  • A spongy brake pedal
    A soft, spongy pedal usually means there is air in the brake system. Air stops the brake fluid flowing properly, so the pedal feels mushy and your car takes longer to stop. You may need a brake fluid flush.
  • The car pulling to one side when you brake
    If your car pulls to one side when you brake, worn or warped rotors may be the cause. You might feel the car vibrate too. Dirt or oil on the braking surface can do the same thing. Pulling can also point to a wheel alignment problem.
  • Other signs to look out for:
  • The brake warning light illuminating
  • The brake pedal is hard to press
  • A pulsating feeling when brakes are applied

Can I supply my own parts and just pay for labour?
