BRAKES

Trust Kennings: Ensuring Safe Stops Starts Here

Brakes naturally wear down over time, often imperceptibly. As vehicles become more powerful, this gradual deterioration can pose significant risks.

Consider these signs that your brakes may need attention:

• Grinding Noise: If you hear a grinding sound when braking, your brake pads might be excessively worn, potentially damaging the discs.

• Pulling to One Side: This could indicate a seized or sticking component in the braking system.

• Spongy Pedal: A spongy brake pedal often signals air in the hydraulic system due to a brake fluid leak.

• Pulsating Pedal: A pulsating brake pedal might suggest a warped brake disc or drum.

• Warning Lights: If your brake warning light is illuminated or your handbrake feels unusually high (more than 6 to 8 clicks), it’s essential not to ignore these alerts. Visit us at Kennings for a thorough inspection by our brake specialists.

Obsessed with Your Safety

At Kennings, when we inspect your braking system, we are meticulous to the point of obsession. We ensure that:

• The brake pedal is securely connected to the master cylinder.

• The brake fluid reservoir is adequately filled with the correct fluid.

• Brake pipe and hose pressure is sufficient to engage the hydraulic pistons.

• The pistons effectively press the brake pads onto the discs, which we check for wear.

When we say we’ve thoroughly examined your brakes, you can trust that we’ve covered every detail.
