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.
