4 Reasons To Get Your Brakes Checked
2

• There may be some glaringly obvious signs that
  your cars brakes need to be checked by a mechanic
  like if the brake light suddenly shows up on the
  dashboard or if your car takes longer to come to
  a stop than it should. There could be some other
  signs of indication with brake damage or wear
  too, and noticing any one of them means that you
  should get your car to a garage as soon as
  possible.
• Faulty brakes are no joke and putting off a
  check-up because you fear the cost or the time
  that youll be without a vehicle really isnt
  worth the risk of causing an accident and
  potentially harming yourself and others.

• Here are 4 things that if they occur will give
  you good reason to get your car to a mechanic
• 1. Pulling or tugging
• You may have experienced that feeling when
  driving of your car almost wanting to go in a
  different direction to that which youre going
  in. The car may feel as if its pulling you into
  a right hand turn when youre simply driving
  along or when you apply the brakes. This may be a
  sign of an issue with your brakes and if not,
  then it still warrants a check-up with your local
  garage.

• 2. Brake discs are worn down
• Youre probably more than aware of how your cars
  brake pads function and you can imagine how much
  they are put through during the life span of a
  car. They will always begin to wear thin which is
  pretty much inevitable if you use your car
  frequently. This goes on to make it much more
  difficult to come to a stop when braking.
  Checking your brake discs is actually quite
  simple and involves looking for the outer edge of
  the metal rotor from between the wheel spokes and
  then finding the brake pad ensconced between the
  caliper and the rotor. In general the pads should
  be at least the thickness of a quarter inch any
  thinner and you should definitely get them
  changed.

• 3. Vibrating pedal
• Bringing a car to an emergency stop with antilock
  brakes gives out what are almost like pulses from
  the brake pedal as the system makes quick grabs
  at the rotor to bring the car to a halt. This is
  perfectly normal but if your car pulses in this
  manner when youre simply driving and slowing
  down as usual then this could be a sign that you
  have a problem that needs fixing.

• 4. Loose or slack pedal
• Worn brake pads could cause the pedal to go
  almost right to the floor before the brakes will
  work properly. If you find yourself really having
  to step down hard on the pedal while attempting
  to brake then there may be an obstruction or
  issue with the vacuum system. On the other hand a
  pedal that grabs at the brakes at the merest
  touch could mean that you need to get your brakes
  looked at too as this could mean that there is an
  air or brake fluid leak.
