5 Signs Your Brakes Need to Be Inspected

Your braking system is one of the most important safety systems on the vehicle. Changes in braking feel or sound deserve attention.

1. Squealing or grinding

Brake noise can have several causes. Persistent grinding should not be ignored because continued driving can allow damage to additional components.

2. Vibration while braking

A vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal can indicate a brake or related wheel-end concern that should be inspected.

3. The vehicle pulls while braking

Pulling can be related to braking components, tires, suspension, steering, or other issues. A proper inspection helps separate the possibilities.

4. The pedal feels different

A soft, unusually firm, sinking, or otherwise changed brake pedal should be evaluated.

5. A brake warning light appears

A dashboard warning light can indicate a condition requiring attention. Check the owner's manual and seek professional advice.
