As one of the most important components of your vehicle, your brakes need to stay in tip-top condition. Over time and with general use, your brake pads will wear down, become less effective and need replacing. At Brake, Clutch & Suspensions in Forster, we have years of experience in providing cost-effective checks on brakes and will aim to source all the parts you need to get back on the road.
The most common sign of your brake pads or discs needing replacement is a squealing noise when you slow down. This is usually a sign that your pads have worn down enough to make contact with the brake rotor, which causes the sound. This is an intentional design in most vehicles and is meant to alert you that your brakes need attention.
Sometimes the squealing noise is due to a build-up of dirt or a rock stuck in the braking system, but this needs to be dealt with just as quickly as a worn brake pad as well. When in doubt, give us a call—just to be sure!
