Although car brakes are not visible, they are nevertheless important. Brake maintenance should be at the top of your monitoring for Car Safety.
Here are some of the danger signs to look out for:
a. Noise
Any unusual sound heard when applying the brakes should be a concern. Friction that is created from the brake lining heating up causes "squeeking" sound. And grinding noise indicates wearing out of brake pads.
b. Feel of brake pedal
If the brake pedal feels softer and you need to step harder on it, this might mean that air is leaking into the brake system, or the brake level is low.
c. Pulling to one side or brake drag
Worn or uneven brakes will cause your car to pull to one side when braking. Mis-aligned brakes will cause brake drag.
