Recognizing the signs that your brake pads require replacement is crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s safety and performance. One of the most common indicators is a squeaking or squealing noise when you apply the brakes, which often suggests that the pads have worn down to a level where the wear indicators are making contact with the rotor. Additionally, a grinding sound may indicate that the pads are completely worn out, risking damage to the rotors and leading to costly repairs. Other telltale signs include if your steering wheel vibrates when braking, it takes longer for your car to come to a complete stop, or your car pulls to one side when braking.
