Promptly scheduling our mobile mechanic upon detecting warning signs can prevent costly repairs and ensure hassle-free car maintenance and repairs across Australia, including Melbourne.
When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid moves to the brake calipers, pressing the brake pads against the rotor to stop the car. Worn brake pads create pressure on other parts and can cause safety problems. Once brake pads are worn out, they must be replaced.
Here are a few typical reasons why brake pads wear and tear:
- Driving at an unusual speed
- Applying last-minute brake
- Making too many stops while driving
- Overloading your vehicle
How to know your brake pads need replacing?
The next time you press the brake pedal and hear a squealing noise, it could indicate worn brake pads. This sound may also stem from other causes. If neglected, worn pads can lead to grinding and further damage to the rotor. Additionally, dust accumulation on the disc rotor can cause squealing, while issues with the caliper unit or lack of lubrication in the rear drum brakes can result in thumping noises.
