5 Tell-Tale Signs Your Brake System Needs Restoring

Article banner
Brakes are the most critical safety system on your vehicle. Over time, friction material wears down, rotors warp due to heat, and brake fluid absorbs moisture. In this article, we outline the top 5 warning signs: 1. High-pitched squeals (pad wear indicators), 2. Steering wheel shudder during braking, 3. The pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor, 4. Car pulls to one side when stopping, and 5. Grinding metallic noises (meaning pads are completely gone and damage is occurring). We recommend inspecting your brakes every 10,000 miles to keep yourself and your family safe.
