There are several indications that something is going on with your brakes that you should always be on the lookout for. This includes the presence of an unusual noise when braking, as well as an odd feel to the brake pedal.
Have you noticed that when you brake the car pulls to one side? This can be caused by worn or uneven brake linings or a damaged brake line. Other issues that might be causing a drag on your brakes include contaminated brake fluid or brakes that are out of adjustment.
When you hear squealing or scraping noises from your brakes, you need to schedule repair as soon as possible. If you ignore it and do not act, you risk damaging additional parts, driving up the costs of repairs.
Brake pads are equipped with an early warning system. They are manufactured with a metal tab that makes contact with the brake disc (rotor) after a certain point. Initially, the scraping or squealing will be minimal, but gets louder as brake pad wear increases. When you hear it, it is time to repair the pads.
The first anti-lock brake was named Maxaret and created by the Road Research Laboratories in 1958. Road Research Laboratories was based in Great Britain and utilized their technology in 1966 in the Jensen FF sports sedan.
