DB Brake pads are wear components and gradually become thinner as they're used. Eventually they need replacing, but the signs aren't always obvious until they're fairly advanced.
Common warning signs
- Squeaking when braking
- Grinding noises
- Reduced braking performance
- Increased stopping distance
- A brake warning light, on vehicles fitted with pad-wear sensors
Why waiting can cause further problems
Continuing to drive with excessively worn brake pads can affect braking and potentially damage other components, such as the discs, if metal begins contacting metal.
Why inspection matters
Since these symptoms can have other causes too, having the system properly inspected is more reliable than guessing based on noise or feel alone.
DB Autos can inspect your brake pads and advise whether replacement is necessary. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
