Brake Repairs in Boolaroo

It’s common for new brakes to make light noise during the bedding-in process while the pads and rotors settle together. This sound usually fades after a short period of normal driving. However, if the noise continues or gets worse, it could indicate uneven wear, dust build-up or a fitting issue. Getting the brakes rechecked ensures proper alignment and optimal performance.

A vibrating or shaking steering wheel often points to warped brake rotors, uneven pad wear or an issue with suspension components. Heat and friction during braking can cause the rotors to distort slightly over time. Even a small imbalance can lead to noticeable shaking through the wheel. Having the rotors inspected and machined, or replaced if necessary, usually fixes the problem.

The lifespan of brake components depends on driving style, vehicle type and conditions. Stop-start city driving wears pads faster than steady highway travel. Rotors generally last longer than pads but still need regular inspection to stay within safe thickness limits. Following manufacturer recommendations and scheduling periodic checks helps prevent uneven wear or costly replacement later.
