Common Signs of Truck Brake Issues
Detecting potential brake issues early is crucial for safety and performance. Watch out for warning signs such as squeaking noises, reduced responsiveness, or uneven braking. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s essential to schedule a thorough inspection and brake repair to address the underlying problems promptly.
How Often Does a Truck Need New Brakes?
Brake pads and shoes typically last between 30,000-35,000 miles in urban use. However, in less demanding situations, such as highway driving with light traffic, heavy-duty truck brakes can endure up to 80,000 miles or more. Regular inspections are key to assessing wear and tear, ensuring timely replacement, and preventing potential brake failures on the road.
