Greater Fresno Goodwrench Automotive Service - Brake Service

Sometimes, your GM vehicle's brakes will alert you when there's
trouble. Whistling noises, chirping sounds or grinding are indications
that maintenance is required. Here are some common causes of brake
noise.

·         Worn brake pads
·         Heat-cracked or worn rotors
·         Rough finish on resurfaced rotors
·         Loose-fitting brake pads in the caliper
·         Lack of silicone compound on back of brake pad
·         Missing springs or anti-rattle clips that should be on the caliper or pad
·         Improper tightening sequence of lug nuts or caliper hardware

Vehicles often come equipped with a small thin piece of metal
attached to the brake pad to act as a warning indicator when the pad
material is getting low and the brake pads should be replaced. This
device makes a loud noise on brake application, letting you know it is
time to have your brakes serviced.
