What Signs Should I Look Out for When My Brakes Need Repair?

One of the most telltale signs that your Mitsubishi vehicle needs brake repair is squeaking or squealing brakes. This sign will most likely arise when your brake pads are worn excessively. It’s important to bring your ride into a service center when you notice this sign because this can cause further damage to the rotors.

Alongside the unusual noises that your brakes will make, you can also look out for these warning signs:

  • Taking Longer to Stop: Loss of performance is a huge sign of needed Mitsubishi brake repair. If you’re having trouble stopping within a reasonable stoppage time, this can mean that your brake pads are worn or your brake fluid is low. 
  • Brake Pads Look Thin: If you’re familiar with checking your brake pads, this is one way you can check for needed repair. If they appear excessively thin, you’ll want to visit our service center soon. 
  • Brake Vibrations: If you’ve been noticing that your car shakes or vibrates when using the brake, this can point to severe complications with the brake rotors or calipers. 
  • Brake Warning Light: If you've noticed your brake light is illuminated on your dash, but you haven’t engaged your parking brake, this can point to issues within the brake system.

Which Brake Parts Are Often Repaired?

Your Mitsubishi’s brake system is made up of many integral parts that can become worn over time. However, in most cases, these three parts may be the culprit of your brake issues:
  • Brake Pads: These steel components are the part that moves when drivers push the brake. 
  • Brake Rotors: Rotors or brake discs are the mechanism that the brake pads grab onto when the brakes are pressed. 
  • Brake Calipers: This important component squeezes the brake pads when the brakes are engaged. They cause a vehicle’s wheel to rotate slower to help it slow down.
