I've been noticing some squeaking noises when I press on the brakes in my Kia Ceed. Is this a sign that I need to replace my brake pads? What are some other indications that it's time to replace them?
ReplyHey Samantha, the squeaking noise is definitely a sign that your brake pads are wearing down. Other signs to look out for include a pulsating feeling when you press on the brake pedal and a longer than usual stopping distance. It's best to have them replaced sooner rather than later to avoid any potential accidents.
Hi Samantha, in addition to the squeaking noise, you may also notice a grinding sensation when you press on the brakes. This is a clear indication that your brake pads are completely worn down and need to be replaced immediately. Don't delay in getting them replaced to ensure your safety on the road.
Hey Samantha, a simple visual inspection of your brake pads can also give you an idea of when they need to be replaced. If they are less than 4mm thick, it's time for a replacement. Also, keep an eye out for any cracks or uneven wear on the pads. If you notice any of these signs, bring your car in for a check-up as soon as possible.
