When you have a brake problem, bringing your car to a full stop can take more effort than it should. Spongy brakes also described as squishy or mushy brakes can cause big trouble if not addressed right away with a brake inspection and test. Find out what could be causing such a change in braking performance and how we can help solve it.
Air in the brake lines is one of the most common causes of spongy brakes. Braking systems rely on evenly distributed hydraulic pressure to bring vehicles to a halt.
Air in any of these lines can throw off this balance of pressure. Poor pressure can result in more time, distance, and/or effort to stop. In other words: a soft brake pedal. Air in the brake lines could be due to a leak or low out of date brake fluid.
What can damage a brake line and cause a leak? Rust, for one. Rust from road salt and moisture can cause brake lines to become brittle, leak, and break. Damage from a car crash can also cause brake lines to bend and collapse, weakening them and making them more susceptible to problems down the road.
And how about low brake fluid? Time might be the key suspect here. Brake fluid should be changed no later than 24 months. Brake fluid converts the energy you apply to the brake pedal into the force required to bring your car to a stop.
Just as your brake pads wear thin over time, so can your brake fluid. If you can’t remember when you last had a brake service, then you might have low brake fluid simply because it’s being used by your braking system. Or, the low fluid could be due to a leak. Either way, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection!
The master cylinder plays an important role in distributing the hydraulic pressure mentioned in #1. It pushes the brake fluid where it needs to be to help bring your car to a stop. Over time, seals within the cylinder can break or leak.
If you have to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor to bring your vehicle to a stop, this might be why. The braking system simply isn’t working as efficiently as it used to and is dangerous to drive.
Braking creates a great deal of heat. That heat can damage your car’s disc brake calipers over time. How can you spot disc brake caliper damage? On top of spongy brakes, you may notice that your car pulls to one side or the other when stopping.
You might also hear a squeaky or squealing sound when braking.
A braking system you can trust is a must-have for safe driving, regardless of the weather or road conditions. At Highway Auto Brakes Rockhampton, your safety is one of our top priorities and we’ll never recommend a service that doesn’t align with that priority.
We offer free brake checks five days a week, during which a qualified brake technician will measure brake system wear and check for leaks. Schedule an appointment to have your spongy brakes inspected or stop by Highway Auto Brakes as soon as possible.
