How can I tell if my brakes need servicing?
Signs of Trouble
While regular checkups and maintenance are vital in keeping your vehicle safe, life sometimes happens. According to the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, things can wear out before expected. This can happen for various reasons and is often a result of how we drive our Ford vehicles. Here are a few things to look out for that may indicate a brake problem. If you experience these issues, schedule a service with us in Camp Hill, PA.
Slow Response Time
Mechanicsburg, PA, drivers may notice that their brakes are stopping the vehicle slower than they used to. If the distance it takes to come to a complete stop is getting longer, it's time to have a professional inspect those brakes.
Screeching Noise
Most brake pads nowadays have a small piece of metal inserted into them. This is by design to let you know when brake-pad wear gets to a certain point. It's nothing to worry about, but it will inform you when to change those pads soon.
Pedal Vibrations
If your pedal, the steering wheel, or the vehicle vibrates as you apply the brakes, it's time for service.
Grinding Noises
This usually means your brake pads have worn out completely. It would be best to replace them immediately to avoid costly damage to the brake system.
Brake Sensitivity
If your brakes suddenly seem too sensitive, it's time to check them out. If they're not sensitive enough or feel mushy, it's also time for a checkup.
Pulling to a Side
If your Ford vehicle pulls to the left or right when you apply the brakes, something needs adjusting.
It's Time to Schedule Service
If you experience any of the above issues or need routine maintenance, it's time for service. Contact L.B. Smith Ford Sales to schedule an appointment.
