- Brake pads are equipped with sensors. If you hear a scraping sound coming from your wheels it may be a sign of brake wear.
- If your car vibrates when brake is engaged it may be an indication that your brake pads are worn.
- To check your brakes visibly, remove wheel to expose the rotor.*
- After you remove the wheel, the brake pad should be visible and thickness determined.
- Rotate the rotor to inspect the inner and outer pads. Sometimes the brakes wear unevenly so check the entire pad.
- While the wheel is off, check hoses for cracking or other deterioration.
*Note: Whenever you need to jack car from ground, ensure that proper steps are taken to prevent car from rolling.
