- Visual inspection on hydraulic fluids;
- Examine rotor/drum wear and calipers;
- Examine the anti-lock brake system [if you have one]
- Your brake warning light comes on.
- Your brake pedal is either squishy, difficult to push down, or you must pump the brakes to get them to work correctly.
- Your brakes grind continuously and you hear a loud metallic racket when you push down on them.
- Your car pulls to one side when you push down on the brakes, instead of stopping in a straight line.
- Your car jerks to a halt when you push down on the brakes.
- One or more wheels are strikingly hot even after a brief trip.
- You observe fluid leaks in the vicinity of any wheel or in the engine section near the master cylinder.
Take care of your vehicle and it will take car of you especially in an emergency situation where a properly working brake system is an absolute must.
