Why Is Brake Service Important?
The braking setup in your Kia vehicle is arguably the single most important safety feature. Most of the brake components suffer degradation due to friction, particularly the brake pads, discs and drums. Likewise, other components like brake lines and calipers can suffer corrosion and scaling due to environmental exposure, pollution and debris from the braking process as you travel around Decatur and beyond.
All of these changes degrade the brake system's performance. As the pads and discs wear down, the brakes can lose stopping power. If a caliper gets degraded, it can stop operating properly. Depending on the circumstances, the caliper might not push down on the brakes when you press the pedal. There is also a scenario where the caliper won't release, and that will degrade your vehicle's fuel economy. Brake service works to ensure larger issues don't occur from routine wear and tear on Lincoln, IL streets.
How to Tell if Your Brakes Require Service
Noise is often the first sign of brake issues. Modern brake pads have small tabs that emit a noise when they've worn down to their replacement level. If you hear a metallic chirp, it's time for service. Worn discs and drums will make grinding or scraping sounds. Issues with the lines and calipers usually show up as an odd feel while braking. The brakes may feel grabby or soft, depending on what's happening. You could also see pooling fluid under the vehicle if one of your Kia model's brake lines failed.
