Understanding and addressing uneven brake wear is crucial for maintaining your car’s braking system. Our team of ASE-certified auto technicians is skilled in identifying and correcting this common issue, emphasizing the importance of professional brake repair to ensure your safety on the road.
Uneven brake wear happens when the brake pads wear down at different rates, potentially compromising your vehicle’s braking performance. Identifying the causes and symptoms early can help prevent more severe issues down the line.
Several factors can lead to uneven wear of your brake pads, each affecting your vehicle’s safety and performance.
Misaligned Calipers and Sticking Brake Calipers
Misalignment or sticking of the brake calipers can cause uneven pressure distribution during braking, leading to one pad wearing out faster than others.
Worn Suspension Components and Incorrect Brake Pad Installation
Faulty suspension parts can affect the braking system’s balance, and improper installation of brake pads can accelerate uneven wear. The quality of the brake pads also plays a significant role, with higher-quality pads less prone to uneven wear.
Recognizing the signs of uneven wear can help you address the issue before it escalates.
Squealing Noises and Vehicle Pulling
Noises during braking and your vehicle pulling to one side can indicate uneven wear. Additionally, vibration when braking and visible wear on the pads are clear signs that your brakes need attention.
At Griffis Automotive Repair, we provide targeted solutions to address and prevent uneven brake pad wear, ensuring your vehicle’s safety and reliability.
Our technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify the specific causes of uneven wear, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment for accurate diagnosis.
Caliper Service and High-Quality Pad and Rotor Replacement
Adjusting and repairing any caliper issues and replacing worn pads with high-quality options are crucial steps in rectifying uneven wear. At Griffis Automotive Repair, we replace the brake rotors along with the pads. If the rotor’s surface becomes deformed or warped, the brake pads do not meet the rotors smoothly, making it hard to slow the car down safely. This can result in longer stopping distances and compromised vehicle control, especially during emergency braking situations. Not to mention, a severely warped rotor can cause the car, the brake pedal, and the steering wheel to shutter or pulsate. This can cause driver discomfort and negatively impact the overall driving experience. Addressing warped rotors promptly is essential. This way, you can ensure the vehicle’s safety and the well-being of its occupants.
Suspension Repairs and Brake Fluid Change
Repairing any issues within the suspension system and changing the brake fluid can significantly improve brake performance and pad wear.
