Are your car brakes in working order?
Just like exhausts, when your brakes have a problem, they will let you know. Some of the common signs that you might need to book in for car brake repair or brake replacement include:
- Grinding - A grinding noise when braking could signify that the break pad has worn down to the metal calliper. These pads will need to be replaced so the brake disc is not damaged.
- Juddering - The juddering of brakes when applied often indicates that the brake disc has warped due to heat.
- Pulling to the side - If the vehicle pulls to one side when braking it is often caused by a sticking hydraulic or mechanical component.
- Squeaking - There are a number of reasons that brakes could be squeaking, such as worn brake pads. However, it is indicative of an issue we recommend having a free brake check with F1 Autocentres.
- Sponginess - A loss of efficiency during heavy braking or on a long descent could be a sign that the brake fluid is unable to flow through your system.
- Stiff brake pedal - A high, hard brake pedal can be caused by a variety of things including a missing serpentine belt or an ill-functioning electric pump.
- Rear wheels locking upon braking - This might be caused by the proportional valve not functioning as it should and delivering equal fluid pressure to the entire brake system.
