What’s That Noise? Common Brake Symptoms

If you hear a strange noise or feel a difference in stopping power, don’t wait. Addressing these issues immediately saves you money and prevents catastrophic failure.

Warning Signs That Require Immediate Repair:

  • Squealing or Squeaking: Often the first sign of trouble. This is typically the metal wear indicator telling you the brake pads are thin and need replacement.
  • Grinding: A severe symptom indicating metal-on-metal contact. Your pads are completely worn, and the rotor is being damaged. This requires immediate service.
  • Pulsation or Shuddering: If your steering wheel shakes or the brake pedal pulses when stopping, this usually means the brake rotors are warped and need to be resurfaced or replaced.
  • Soft or Spongy Pedal: A brake pedal that feels squishy or travels too close to the floor is a sign of a serious hydraulic issue, such as a brake fluid leak or a problem with the master cylinder.

Is It Time For New Tires?

Car-X recommends getting new tires every 30,000 or 40,000 miles. If your tire tread is at 4/32 of an inch, it is a good time to consider getting new tires. Anything less and the tire is considered “bald,” and legally worn out in most states.
