You Hear Grinding Or Squealing
One of the most common indications of brake wear is the sound of grinding or squealing when you brake. Most often, this means the brake pads have worn down and the metal is grinding against metal, leading to damage and costly repairs. It can also be more serious, indicating an issue with the rotors that needs to be addressed right away.
Your Brake Pedal Feels Strange
You also want to pay attention to how the brake pedal feels when you push it. If it feels soft and spongy underfoot, that could indicate that there is air in the brake lines or that you have a brake fluid leak. If the pedal feels hard underfoot, it can indicate brake booster failure or vacuum leaks.
Your Stopping Distance Increases
Is it taking you longer to come to a complete stop? This is typically an issue with the brakes, related to worn brake pads. A longer stopping distance can make your vehicle less safe and efficient, and you should bring your vehicle in for service if and when you notice it.
