Five signs your brakes need attention

Squeals, pulls and soft pedals — what each one means.

A high squeal is usually the wear indicator — you have a few weeks, not months.

Grinding means metal on metal. Every mile now damages the rotor.

Pulling to one side can be a stuck caliper. Don't wait on that one.

A soft pedal means air or a leak in the system — come in the same week.

Vibration when braking from highway speed points to warped rotors.
