Common Signs of Brake Wear

posted on 2/8/2017 4:19:16 AM

Q: What are common signs of brake wear? - Daniel

A: Hi Daniel,

There are several noticeable signs that the brakes may be showing signs of wearing. One of the most obvious signs of brake wear is a brake pedal with a spongy or low feeling. This usually indicates that air is present in the hydraulic system. There may be an imbalance in the brake system when the red brake warning light appears. The presence of an amber brake warning light is usually related to a problem with the ABS system. Brake pad replacement is usually required when there is a continuous squealing or grinding sound when braking. If you are unsure of the condition of your brakes, stop on by Tire Pros of Frederick where one of our ASE Certified mechanics can take a look for you.
