Your brakes usually warn you before they fail. Catching those warnings early is the difference between a quick pad replacement and a much bigger bill for rotors and calipers.
01Squealing or squeaking when you stop
Most brake pads have a small metal wear indicator that squeals once the pad gets thin. It is built to get your attention. Hearing it means it is time for an inspection.
02Grinding noises
Grinding usually means the pad material is gone and metal is contacting the rotor. At this point the rotors are getting damaged, so do not wait on this one.
03A soft or spongy pedal
If the pedal sinks further than usual or feels mushy, you could have air in the lines, a fluid leak, or worn components. It affects stopping distance, so get it checked right away.
04Pulling to one side
If the car drifts left or right when you brake, a caliper may be sticking or pads may be wearing unevenly.
05Vibration in the pedal or steering wheel
Pulsing when you brake often points to warped rotors, especially after hard braking or towing.
