- Squealing or grinding noises when you brake. This is the most common sign that your brake pads are wearing thin.
- A decrease in braking performance. If you notice that your car is taking longer to stop, or if it is pulling to one side when you brake, your brake pads may be worn out.
- Visible signs of wear. If you can see that the friction material on your brake pads is thin or has been worn away, it is time to replace them.
- A warning light on your dashboard. Some cars have a warning light that will illuminate when the brake pads need to be replaced.
If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to have your brake pads checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Brake pads are essential for safe driving, and replacing them when they are worn out can help to prevent accidents.
