3 warning signs of brake problems<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Squealing or grinding<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Audible signs are easy to recognize. Sometimes, you might hear a squeaking noise when you\u2019re in motion and a grinding sound when you apply your brakes. Either problem is a cause for concern. Squealing or squeaking likely means you just need some new brake pads, but grinding could mean\u00a0<\/span>a number of<\/span>\u00a0things. You might just have debris caught in your caliper unit, or it could mean there is some metal-on-metal grinding going on which is not good at all.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wobbling steering wheel<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

If your steering wheel starts unexpectedly wobbling at any time, you\u2019re probably going to think something is up. It could be the result of uneven brake rotors. Brake rotors are large discs that are inside of your wheels. As you press the brake pedal, the brake pads hug the rotors, but if they are uneven, they can wobble and cause your steering wheel to shake or vibrate.<\/span> \"Signs<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaking fluid<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Brake fluid is necessary for keeping your brakes in pristine condition. A sign of this is a soft brake pedal. By that we mean you might not feel as much force behind your brake pedal as you normally do. If you\u00a0have to\u00a0press harder on your brake pedal, sometimes all the way to the floor, it could be due to a brake fluid leak.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
