Checking brakes
is usually a job for experienced mechanics it is advisable to have them
checked Each time you have your car serviced. There are problems that may
arise in between services and for a list of their tell tale signs and possible
causes for disc brakes
and for drum brakes
If your
brakes are making a scratching sound when you brake then it is probably
due to worn brake pads/shoes that expose the head of a rivit which
in turn scratches the disc/drum surface. You will need to take action
immediately as this can cause permanent damage to the
braking surface and
result in a less effective brake and a pulling to one side when braking
