Physical Symptoms:
- Grinding or squealing noises: A metal-on-metal sound indicates worn pads or rotors.
- Vibration or shuddering when braking: This can be caused by warped or unevenly worn rotors.
- Pulled to one side when braking: Worn pads or calipers can cause unequal braking forces.
- Thin or glazed brake pads: Pads should be at least 1/4 inch thick and free of glazing (a shiny surface).
- Cracked or scored rotors: These defects can reduce braking effectiveness.
Performance Indicators:
- Increased stopping distance: Worn brakes take longer to stop the vehicle.
- Reduced braking power: The car may not decelerate as quickly as before.
- Spongy or soft brake pedal: This can indicate worn pads, a faulty master cylinder, or air in the brake lines.
- Leaking brake fluid: Fluid leaks can cause poor braking performance and safety issues.
- Low brake fluid: Worn pads can expose the brake fluid level sensor, activating the warning light.
Other Signs:
- Brake dust: Excessive brake dust on wheels or calipers can indicate excessive wear.
- Unusual smells: A burning smell while braking can indicate worn pads or overheating rotors.
- Corrosion or rust: Rust on brake components can affect performance and safety.
- Loose or rattling calipers: This can lead to uneven pad wear or brake failure.
