Nissan Brake Pads and Rotors in Dickson

Mechanic Inspecting Brake Pads and Rotors

Driving on worn Nissan brake pads and rotors in Dickson means putting the safety of yourself, your passengers, and fellow road users in jeopardy, not to mention the vehicle itself. Fortunately, Nissan brake pads and rotors should be checked and changed as part of your recommended service intervals, so you should never have to worry about them yourself.

That said, it’s always worth educating yourself on the common signs that either part needs attention. With that in mind, read on to find out:

How to Tell Your Brake Pads Need Replacing

Nissan brake pads are made to the highest standards, so your vehicle should be able to go around 5,000 miles before needing them replaced. You can even keep tabs by performing regular visual inspections by yourself – if any pad appears less than a quarter inch thick, it probably needs to be switched out for a new one.

You should also watch out for the following warning signs during your next drive into Dickson:

  • Screeching/Squealing Sound During Braking
  • Brake Pedal Vibration During Braking
  • Brake Lights Active When Brakes Aren’t Applied
  • Increasingly Long Stopping Distances
  • Grinding Metal-on-Metal Sound During Braking

How to Tell Your Brake Rotors Need Replacing

Brake rotors can go much longer than brake pads before needing to be changed. You’ll usually find them lasting between 30,000 and 70,000 miles before becoming worn, but warning signs they require replacing sooner than expected include:

  • Steering Wheel Vibration During Braking
  • Increasingly Long Stopping Distances
  • Grinding Metal-on-Metal Sound During Braking

You can also perform a quick visual inspection of your rotors, which you’ll find fitted to the wheel hub behind the hubcap. If you notice any surface cracks, schedule servicing as soon as possible.
