Brake Pad Replacement and Drum Brake Repair

A car’s brakes are not just one part. Rather, they’re an intricate system serving an important purpose: Helping you slow down to keep you, your passengers and other drivers safe on the road. The brake pads are part of the disc brake system in some cars. They are what squeezes the rotors so your vehicle stops or slows down. Other vehicles have an alternate brake system called drum brakes. The drums of this system work in a similar fashion to the rotor. They tend to wear out over time just like brake pads.

Brake Pad Issues

The top sign that your brake pads need a replacement is a grinding or squeaking noise when you brake. If you hear this sound, you should take your car to a specialist for a brake inspection. As with all auto repairs, the sooner you address the problem, the less dangerous (and expensive) it will be later.

Drum Brake Problems

Many vehicles have disc brakes in the front of the vehicle and drum brakes in the rear wheels. Vibrations in the pedal signal drum brake problems, as do squeaking noises, like those mentioned above. A symptom of drum brake problems alone, however, is a loose parking brake. If you’re experiencing any of these problems with your brakes, be sure to contact a mechanic as soon as possible!
