Signs Your Brakes Need Attending to
Recognizing the signs that your brakes need attention is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's safety and performance. Some common indicators that your brakes may require repair or servicing include:- Squealing or grinding noises when braking, a sign that your brake pads have extensive wear
- Vibrations or pulsations when you press the brake pedal
- Longer stopping distances
- Soft or spongy brake pedal
- Dashboard warning lights indicating brake system issues
How can I make my brakes last longer?
Brakes wear out over time, but some driving habits can cause more stress on the brakes making them wear faster than they should.- Driving on hilly roads - This may not be something you can avoid, but hilly roads and sharp turns put a lot of strain on your braking system.
- Riding your brakes - Riding your brakes is a notoriously bad driving habit. When you ride your brakes, you are actually keeping the brake pads engaged, causing constant wear.
- Constant stop-and-go traffic - Traffic is unavoidable when you live in a major city as is the stress it puts on your brakes. Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to the life of your car if you drive in the city.
- Using lower quality parts - This one, you have control over. Don’t cut corners on your brake system. Saving money may seem like a good idea, but it will actually cost you more in the long run.
