How Do You Know Your Ford Needs New Brakes?

As with any vehicle, your Ford brake pads usually wear gradually. Hence, it may be difficult to notice a decline in brake performance readily. To help, we've identified usual signs of failing brakes that should signal the need for repair or replacement. One of the most common signs of bad brakes is grinding or squealing sound when you press the brakes. When you hear grinding noise when braking, it means that your brake pads have worn down entirely (a sign of backing plate grinding against rotors) and should be replaced. If your Ford pulls to one side when braking, it may also be a sign that you need new brakes. Car pulling to one side when braking is usually caused by uneven brake pad wear, a stuck caliper, dirty brake fluid, or a failed brake hose.

Other symptoms of a failing brake system include steering vibrations resulting from unevenly worn rotors, soft or spongy brake pedal, brake fluid leak, burning smell while driving, etc.

How Often Should I Replace the Brakes on My Ford?

As a rule of thumb, it is recommended to have your brakes inspected every time you visit the service center for tire rotation, about every six months or 7,500 miles. If you use your brakes often, experts recommend getting an inspection more frequently. Also, it is advised to replace your rotors at 70,000 miles or sooner, depending on your driving habits and road conditions.

What is Included in a Ford Brake Job?

When you visit the Marlow Ford dealership service center, your brake service may include brake pad replacement, brake rotors replacement/brake drums resurfacing, brake caliper replacement, brake hoses/brake lines replacement, brake rotors and caliper alignment, Brake as well as brake fluid flush and brake fluid replacement.

Please bear in mind that not all of these services or replacement jobs will be performed at once. A typical day at the service center may involve only brake pad replacement or brake fluid flush and brake fluid replacement. You may require only rotors resurfacing or new brake lines when faced with leaking brake fluid. Different brake services/jobs will be performed, depending on the state of your braking system. In any case, we recommend visiting the dealership at least once every six months for a brake inspection.
