1. You hear a high-pitched noise.
| When the pad itself wears down to a dangerous extent, the indicator will scrape against the disc. This creates a distinctive grating noise which warns the driver that his or her current pads are in danger of eroding away altogether. |
2. Bringing the car to a stop takes more time than it used to.
3. The brake pedal vibrates when pressed.
4. Your car pulls to one side when you brake
| Your vehicle’s brake pads won’t always wear out at the exact same rate. Sometimes, those on one side will get thinner faster than their counterparts on the other side. Should this occur, the car may pull slightly to the left or right once you hit the brakes. |
