Brakes

Noisy brakes can indicate worn brake pads or linings. When pads and shoes wear down the backing plate starts making contact with the rotor or drum that results in a metallic grinding noise.

If your brake pedal fails to release, you could be experiencing sticky brakes. This may be caused by a faulty brake caliper, and if not addressed can eventually lead to brake failure.

If your car pulls to one side when you apply your brakes, you could have a problem with your braking system, or may need to adjust your tyre pressure. It is best to get an expert to check to see if your brakes or tyres are causing the issue.

If your brakes grab or lock with only light pressure you may have broken or loose components that could cause your brakes to fail in an emergency. It is important to get these checked to determine the issue.

If you feel a vibrating sensation through the pedal, steering wheel or entire vehicle when braking it may indicate a problem with the brake rotor, a faulty steering mechanism or loose components. 

If your brake warning light comes on your brakes could be near total failure. If your car displays this warning sign, get it checked immediately.

If your brake pedal feels spongy after heavy use, it could indicate moisture in the brake fluid. Clean brake fluid is crucial to brake performance, so it is important to have your brakes serviced regularly.
