What Are Brake Discs?

Brake discs are a critical part of your braking system, helping to slow your car down smoothly and bring it to a halt. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads squeeze against the brake discs, creating the friction that slows the wheels and stops the car. Typically, brake discs are made of cast iron or ceramic metal, and look like flat, smooth discs that are attached to the wheel.

How Do You Know When Brake Discs Need Replacing?

If you notice that your car is taking longer to come to a stop, it could be a sign that your brake discs need replacing. Your car will start to give you some warnings when your brake discs are wearing too thin.

Vibration or wobbling through the steering wheel when braking
Longer stopping distances
Brake pedal is less responsive
Grinding, screeching, or squealing noises when braking
Car veering to one side when braking
Sticking handbrake

For safety reasons, you should always replace both brake discs on an axle at the same time. This makes sure your braking system is balanced.
