What are the three major warning signs of brake failure?
1 Answers
Signs of brake failure include brake pedal vibration and brakes not returning to position. The details are as follows: Brake pedal vibration: If you feel the brake pedal vibrating when braking at high speeds on the highway, it may indicate uneven surface wear on the brake discs. Brakes not returning to position: Loss of elasticity in the brakes often involves damage to multiple components. Brake misalignment: If the brakes shift when applied, it indicates uneven force distribution between the left and right brake calipers, requiring immediate repair. Reduced braking effectiveness: This condition, known as "soft brakes," occurs when braking force diminishes due to insufficient hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinders or master cylinder, often accompanied by oil leakage.
