Do you all know the right time to replace your car brakes, guys? Brakes are indeed a very important main component, as they also relate to our safety while driving. Because of the brakes, you can control when to stop; otherwise, it could lead to accidents, guys?

For your comfort while driving, make sure your vehicle's brakes are in good condition. However, if you experience the following 4 signs, then be prepared to replace them soon, guys! Here are 4 signs that you need to replace your car brakes:

Check the brake disc

The disc or rotor and caliper are the main components of car brakes, guys! The caliper works by clamping the disc, so the car will stop perfectly. Well, a car that has been used for a long time will not be able to stop perfectly anymore. Therefore, it is very important to check the condition of the disc; if it is worn down, it indicates that you need to replace the disc with a new one.

Strange noises during braking

Do you hear strange noises in the cabin while driving? A squeaking or rough sound when braking? If you hear a rough sound, this usually indicates that the disc is worn down, guys! It should be noted that a worn disc is not good for the caliper on the brakes. Well, this is the time you need to replace the brakes as soon as possible.

The car feels like it’s turning by itself

While driving, do you feel like the car is turning by itself? This is caused by a caliper that is stuck on one wheel and will automatically brake while moving forward, guys! However, a car turning by itself is not only caused by the brakes! To be sure, take your beloved car to the workshop for further inspection.

The car feels like it’s vibrating

Do you often pass through damaged or pothole-filled roads? This can make your car feel like it’s vibrating! This usually indicates a problem with the car's brakes, specifically with the brake disc, guys! This is due to the condition of the disc not improving, such as being bent or warped.
