Common Brake Problems You Shouldn’t Ignore
Brakes wear down gradually, which makes it easy to overlook problems until they become urgent. That’s why it’s essential to know the signs. Squeaking or grinding often means your brake pads are worn out. A pulsing brake pedal or vibrations in the steering wheel may point to warped rotors. If the pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor, air in the lines or a fluid leak could be the cause. These issues don’t just reduce performance—they put you and others at risk.
Brake systems are made up of several critical parts, including pads, rotors, callipers, hoses, and the master cylinder. At every appointment, a qualified technician inspects these components, explains what needs attention, and gets you safely back on the road. ACT Mobile Mechanics ensures Canberra drivers have access to high-quality brake repairs without needing to arrange time off work or a lift to the garage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should car brakes be checked?
Brakes should be inspected at least every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, or at every service interval. However, if you notice unusual sounds, poor stopping performance, or a warning light, get them checked sooner. Regular inspections catch wear before it becomes dangerous and help extend the life of other brake components.
What are the warning signs that brakes need replacing?
Key signs include squeaking, grinding, or squealing noises; a soft or spongy pedal; pulling to one side when braking; increased stopping distances; or a vibrating steering wheel. A brake warning light on the dashboard also indicates it’s time to check the system. Ignoring these can lead to major safety risks.
Can I drive with worn brake pads?
Technically, yes—but it’s not safe. Worn pads reduce stopping power and can damage other parts like the rotors, which are more expensive to fix. In some cases, the brakes may fail altogether. It’s best to have them inspected and replaced as soon as you notice signs of wear.
