The signs of wear of the car's braking system are named

Extraneous sounds, vibrations, and changes in the operation of the brake pedal may indicate that the brake system is about to wear out. This was reported to Izvestia on April 14 by experts from Sberbank.

"Ignoring such signs directly affects the safety of the driver," the experts emphasized.

The most obvious wear signals include creaking, whistling, or metallic screeching when braking. Drivers should also pay attention to increasing the braking distance and changing the behavior of the pedal — it may become softer or, conversely, tighter. An additional feature is vibrations, which often indicate deformation of the brake discs.

Experts have warned that continuing to operate the car in the presence of such symptoms can lead to a decrease in braking performance, especially in emergency situations. In addition, late repairs increase costs: replacing pads can lead to more expensive disc replacements.

According to experts, the wear of the braking system is primarily influenced by driving style. Frequent sudden braking, aggressive driving and movement in dense urban traffic significantly increase the load on the system elements. The quality of components and maintenance deadlines also play an important role.

To reduce wear, drivers are advised to maintain a smooth driving style, assess the road situation in advance, and avoid sudden maneuvers. In addition, it is necessary to carry out regular diagnostics, timely change consumables and use high-quality spare parts.

On April 8, Cordiant Holding specialists said that running in new tires is no less important than running in a new car. This usually takes less time than in winter, and it is usually enough to drive 200-300 km. According to experts, during this period, the main recommendation is not to make sudden maneuvers, observe the speed limit and take into account the likelihood of an increase in braking distance. Especially when driving on wet roads, you need to be more careful, since the technological film that remains on the tires after production can reduce the traction properties.
