What To Do If Your Brakes Squeal, Whine, Or Clunk

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Are your brakes squealing, whining, clunking, or otherwise causing strange noises?

While these sounds can be quite annoying, they work as an excellent warning system that there is something that needs to be fixed immediately before more serious problems occur.

You have a few options if your brakes start to make noise.

  • Get Albuquerque brake repair – Strange noises are a sign that you need your brakes to be fixed. Don’t let the thought of expensive repairs scare you, as many times an inexpensive and simple repair is all you need.
  • Check the problem yourself – If you are skilled with a wrench then it’s possible to fix minor problems yourself. Remove the tire and inspect each brake for issues including:
  • Worn brake pads – If your pads are too warn from excessive use they will need to be replace. You can attempt to do this yourself or get professional El Paso brake repair.
  • Loose nuts and bolts – Often times a problem might be caused by just a few loose nuts and bolts. If you locate anything that seems loose, tighten it and your problem may disappear.
  • Other problems – Inspect the brake lines and disks for anything that seems damaged or out of the ordinary.

Never let your brakes go unchecked when they start to make weird noises. When in doubt, consult a brake expert that has seen every issue and can fix your brakes quickly and affordably.
