DB Grinding is a noise most drivers instinctively know isn't good news, and in most cases, that instinct is right.
What grinding usually indicates
- Brake pads worn down to the metal backing plate
- Metal-on-metal contact between pad and disc
- Debris trapped between the pad and disc
- Another mechanical fault within the braking system
Why it needs prompt attention
Grinding can indicate significant brake wear or another mechanical problem. Continuing to drive can cause further damage to the discs and potentially affect braking performance.
What to do
Stop treating it as background noise and get the brakes inspected promptly, rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
DB Autos can inspect grinding brakes and advise on the necessary repair. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
