Beware: Four tell-tale signs of auto brake problems
You might have given it much thought, but brakes are one of the most important parts of you car that have to be in tip-top shape. That’s why you should always be able to identify the different signs that tell you that something’s wrong with your car brakes.
Here are four tell-tale signs that should serve as warning and mean that a trip to the auto car repair center should be in order:
There’s noticeable fading or reduced responsiveness. One thing you might notice is that the brakes may not be as responsive as they were once or that the pedal tends to “sink” towards the floor. This is most of the time caused by an air leak or break fluid leak in the brake hose. Observer your car while it is parked and look for any indicators such as puddle of fluid. Brake fluids are like fresh motor oil, only a little less slimy.
Vibration. Vibrating or pulsating brake pedals are often a fire-hit indication of warped rotors or vehicle out of alignment. Vibration may be felt similar to the feedback experienced in the brake pedal while a panic stop, in vehicles with anti-lock brakes.
It maybe the cause of warped rotors if vibration occurs in brake situations, when the anti-lock brakes aren’t connected. Warped rotors develop due to excessive braking for long periods of time, just like when you’re towing or driving down a mountain. Too much friction heats up the rotors in these situations, which then in turn cause them to warp. Vibration happens due to the brake pads failure to grab the surface evenly.
Do you hear some growling and grinding? If you do, then that means the pads have been worn out and maybe beyond replacement. The growling and grinding sounds are produced because the disc and the calliper, two metal pieces, are rubbed together. This scratches your rotors and creates an uneven surface. In this situation, your mechanic might even encourage the replacement of your rotors, if they could not be turned.
Pulling. Pulling happens when you feel that your car “pulls” to one side while braking. This maybe because of foreign matter that has found its way into your brake fluid, or due to uneven brake linings. Should this happen, your vehicle might just require a brake adjustment or your mechanic might suggest that your brake fluid be drained and replaced.
