FAQs

| |
| Why
are my brakes squealing? |
|
Brake
squeal is usually caused by brake dust. To rid yourself
of squeal, install premium grade friction material. Brakes
pads that are almost worn-out can also cause squealing.
If you hear a squealing noise, please bring in your vehicle
for a free brake inspection.

| I
have ABS, why does the pedal pulse? |
| It
is normal for an ABS braking system to pulse. This is the
ABS pump working to apply pulsed pressure during braking to
keep the wheels from sliding. |
| |
| Why
does my brake pedal go all the way to the floor? |
| The
most common cause would be a defective master cylinder. Also
air in the closed fluid system is another cause. Either way
you need a trained technician to check and repair the problem. |
| |
| Why
does one of my wheels lock up when I apply my brakes? |
| The
most likely cause of this is a leaking wheel cylinder on that
wheel. Also there could be a defective grease seal causing
rear end grease to come in contact with the friction material. |
| |
| How
long do brakes last? |
| How
long will a light bulb burn? No one can give you a mileage
number or a calendar date, there are too many different variables.
Your best bet is to have your brakes inspected every other
tire rotation or sooner if you start to have a problem. Better
safe than sorry. |
