Jerome Brakes

Want to know if it’s time for a brake check? It’s great to get input from a pro, but you can do it yourself, then decide if it’s time to bring your car in for some brake work. Here’s how you can figure it out yourself:

Look

Peek between the spaces of your car’s front wheel spokes, and you’ll see the brake pads. They should be touching a big metal disc, known as the rotor. These pads should be at least a quarter of an inch thick. If they’re skinnier than that, it’s high time to swap them out.

Listen

Are you hearing a loud squeal when you brake, or even scarier, a grinding noise? It’s time for a brake replacement, pronto. That squeal is the sound of your indicator, a little metal piece letting you know it’s time. It’s built to squeal when your brakes get too worn down. If there’s a grinding noise, it means your brake pad has worn out and the parts are rubbing together. Head to the mechanic soon, or your car could take some big damage.

Feel

Have you noticed an odd shaking in your brake pedal, like your anti-lock brakes are activated even when they’re not? This could mean your car’s rotors are warped. Or, is your brake pedal sinking down too easily? This could be due to an air or fluid leak in your brake system. Also, watch out if your car drifts when you brake, as this could mean uneven wear on your brake pads. If you’ve experienced any of these signs, it’s time to get your car checked.

Brake System

When you step on your brake pedal, a detailed hydraulic system swings into action, employing leverage, hydraulic force, and friction to bring your car to a standstill.

Brake Fluid

This specific fluid travels through your brake system to propel the piston forward. This action pushes the brake pad against the brake disc

Brake Pads & Rotors

Located near your car’s tires, these parts press against each other to stop the car.

Master Cylinder

The master cylinder is the core of your brake system. Ideally, it should last as long as your car does, but malfunctions or damages can shorten its lifespan.
