When it comes to our vehicles, we tend to leave our services until they are done. But why? A well-maintained car lasts longer, drives smoother, and ultimately can keep you safer. One of the major parts that people tend to push off is the brakes. In most cases, people aren't replacing their brakes until they are making noise. Compromising the brakes of your vehicle is sacrificing safety. So how do you know when your brakes need to be serviced. Figuring out brake problems is not as straightforward as you want it to be. It can be confusing at times. If you are worried about losing time and money over a brake job that is not necessary at the end of the day, then read on.
Brake Pedal is Hard to Push
If you have noticed that your brake pedal feels harder to push than usual, this could indicate a problem with the power assist mechanism. Power assists come in two types: hydraulic and vacuum. Typical braking systems use a vacuum booster to provide braking assistance. With a vacuum booster system, the driver does not have to put effort into the brake pedal.
Grinding Noises
If you hear any noise when you step on the brake pedal, it is always good to have it checked out. A grinding noise typical means you have a mechanical problem with your braking system. The grinding noise is the sound of the two metals getting each other, this happens when the brake pads have worn out, and the base metal is grinding on the drum or the rotor. When this happens, the braking system is seriously in trouble. Ensure to get your vehicle to a professional for brake service immediately for safety and avoid further damage. Usually, when grinding noise is already present, the damage is beyond repair, and replacement is the only option.
