Signs Your Brake Pads Need Replacing
Squealing or Grinding Noise When Braking
One of the most common indicators that your brake pads require replacement is a high-pitched squealing sound when you apply the brakes. This noise comes from a small metal indicator designed to alert you that the pad material has worn thin. If you hear grinding, this suggests the pads have worn completely, and the metal backing plate is contacting the brake disc, which requires immediate attention.
Brake Warning Light on Dashboard
Modern vehicles are equipped with electronic brake pad wear sensors that trigger a dashboard warning light when replacement is needed. Never ignore this warning, as it indicates your brake pads have reached their minimum safe thickness.
Vibration or Reduced Braking Performance
If your brake pedal feels spongy, requires more pressure than usual, or if you experience vibration through the steering wheel when braking, these are clear signs your brake pads may be worn unevenly or your braking system needs professional inspection.
