Why Are My Brakes Shaking and Squeaking?

Car Mechanic Going Over Checklist

 

Brakes are one of the most important parts of your vehicle. They help maintain safety when you’re on the roads of Visalia. But like most vehicle parts, they eventually wear and must be replaced so your vehicle can perform at top capacity and keep you and your passengers safe. Many of our customers who come down to our service center with brake problems ask, why are my brakes shaking or squeaking?

If this happens to your car, it’s a sign that your car’s brakes are worn and that they need to be replaced quickly. If you don’t, you can be looking at an automobile accident or costly repairs. If you’re wondering why are my brakes shaking or squeaking, bring your vehicle to our Central Valley-area service center for high-end service. Also, if you’re on the market for a new vehicle, contact our finance center to see what deals and specials you can get today!

Signs That Your Brakes Need to Be Repaired

Harsh squeaking or shaking in the brake pedals are clear signs that your brakes are worn and need to be replaced. When you hear squeaking when you press on the brake pedal is because there’s no more padding left on the brake; you have metal grinding on metal. The padding is what causes friction rotating tire which then slows down the car to a stop. 

Another reason why are my brakes shaking and squeaking is due to a dismounted brake or a loosened brake, which causes shaking in the brake pedal. It’s important to take your vehicle down to our Selma-area dealership when you notice these issues because they can result in accidents or costly repairs.
