Driving with damaged or worn brake pads is extremely dangerous, and your entire braking system needs to be regularly inspected. We believe that drivers should also know about some of the most common signs that their brake pads are about to go out. Catching those early warning signs could help you avoid a major accident in the near future.
When you press down on the brake pedal, your car shouldn’t make any unusual noises or pull to one side. Both of those issues can be caused by uneven or excessive wear on the brake pads. Your brake pedal also needs to feel firm and consistent every single time that you press down on it. When your brake pads are nearing the end of their service life, you might have to push down on the pedal much harder.
Feel free to contact the service center at Rountree-Moore Ford in Lake City, FL if your brake pads are ready to be replaced.
