When Will You Know It’s Time For Brakes?
Brake pads typically wear gradually, so it may be difficult to notice a decline in performance. Below are some common signs you should watch for that can signal your brake system needs repair or replacement.
When Will You Know It’s Time For Brakes?
High-Pitched Squeal
Many brake pads have a “wear indicator” that emits an audible warning when time for replacement.
Grinding Noise
Metal-on-metal noise can be caused by the backing plate grinding against rotors due to worn brake pads.
Brake Pad Thickness
If pads are under 2–3mm, they likely need replacing. Under 4–5mm means they’re close to worn out.
