Warning Signs You Need New Brakes They may not be items you think about very often , but your brakes are one feature on your car that you should always make sure are in top working condition. Let's look at how to know when you need new brakes before the day when you find yourself rolling straight through an intersection- -or worse, into the rear of the vehicle in front of you. There are two types of brakes: disc and drum. Modern-day vehicles either have front disc and rear drum or four-wheel disc brakes. Your owner's manual will tell you which type you have if you aren't sure. Because of the weight of the engine and the force put on the front of the vehicle when stop- ping, the greatest wear is to the front brakes, so they need more frequent main- tenance. There are two ways to check for brake wear on disc brakes—by looking and listening. First, check for wear by looking at your brake pad through your wheel. On most cars, you can see the pad in the space between your wheel rims. The outside pad will be pressed against the metal rotor. Generally, you want at least 1/4-inch of pad. Have you ever heard a high-pitched screeching sound when you applied your brakes? That's a small metal shim, called an indicator, that is telling you need to replace your pads. You should listen for this sound (which is loud enough to be heard in the car with the windows up, but not necessarily loud enough to be heard over the radio or air condition- er) . If you hear it regularly, make an appointment with your mechanic. One exception is if your car has been sitting after being exposed to water, such as from snow or washing it. The moisture can cause a thin layer of rust to develop on the brake rotors. When you first apply the brakes, the pads pressing on the rust-covered rotors may cause a squeal until for a few stops until the rust wears off. Once it does, the sound will go away. Here are some other signs of brake problems. If you experience any of these, you should pay a visit to your repair shop as soon as possible. Reduced Responsiveness or Fading If your brakes are not as responsive as they should be or if the pedal "sinks" toward the floor, this is an indication of a leak in the system. It could be an air leak or a brake fluid leak. One telltale sign of a brake fluid leak is a small puddle when the car is parked. Brake fluid looks similar to fresh motor oil, minus the slimy feel. Pulling Pulling is a sign that the brake linings are wear- ing unevenly or that there is foreign matter in the brake fluid. You may need a brake adjustment or to have the fluid drained and replaced. Grinding or Growling This metallic sound that is usually loud and quite startling, means that you have worn off the pads or worn them down, most likely beyond replacement. The grinding or growling noise is actually the two pieces of metal rubbing together. This can score your rotors, creating an uneven surface. Do not be surprised if your me- chanic tells you the rotors need to be "turned," a process that evens out the rotor. Vibration A vibration or pulsating in the brake pedal is of- ten a symptom of warped rotors. Warped rotors are caused by severe braking for long periods, such as when driving down a steep mountainside or when tow- ing. Tremendous amounts of friction are created under these conditions, heating up the rotors and causing them to warp.The vibration is felt because the brake pads are not able to grab the surface evenly. If you find yourself drving under these conditions, make sure to downshift, which will slow the en- gine down and reduce the pressure you need to apply to your brakes, or to stop periodically to allow your brakes to cool off. If you experience any of theseconditions,don't delay in calling you mechanic. If you do, the next phone call you make might be to j m * your insurance com- ttSBj pany instead.
