Regular brake inspections and service are essential for safe and smooth-running vehicle performance. Not only will the maintenance prevent far more costly repairs by catching issues early, but the service checks could also find a potential problem that seriously risks your safety on the road if an affected part fails. Front brake systems operate as a collection of components designs to work as a system. They do an admirable job of reliably slowing and stopping your vehicle on command. However, when one part begins to wear down, it will affect the entire assembly’s performance when you need it most. Front brake service is particularly sensitive as it is the most common design on passenger cars and two-wheel drive vehicles. With a solid maintenance schedule, your braking system will work when you need it to every time.
Front brakes are designed to give off signals when serious service is needed. One of the most common signals involves an increasing amount of squealing. This is not a part failing; bits of metal are included in brake shoes so that when they get low, a high-pitched squeal is emitted, warning the driver that the brake pads are getting low. The lower the shoe pads get, the more the sound occurs. This helps adjust for different shoes and braking systems because not everything suddenly needs service at exactly 7,500 miles. Some brake pads wear faster based on how people drive.
Other signs of needing a front brake service aside from squealing noises include softness to the brakes, requiring more pumping. This could be due to looseness in the shoe pads or loss of hydraulic fluid pressure. A pulsating feeling, or the steering wheel shaking when braking hard, could be due to the rotors being warped, which not as distinct as the anti-skid safety feature (you’ll know the difference when you experience the anti-lock braking system or ABS kick in). Another symptom involves a pulling to one side when braking, resulting in uneven stopping power.
