TOP POINT VEHICLE GUIDE
Squeaking or Grinding Brakes
Brake noise can have different causes, but grinding, reduced braking response, vibration or a changed pedal feel should be inspected promptly. Avoid relying on noise alone to determine which component needs replacement.
What you can check safely
- Note when the symptom occurs and whether speed, braking or road surface changes it.
- Check tyre pressures against the vehicle recommendation when tyres are cold.
- Look for obvious tyre damage or warning lights without dismantling components.
- If steering, braking or vehicle stability feels unsafe, avoid unnecessary driving and arrange an inspection.
Top Point can inspect the relevant tyre, alignment, braking, steering, suspension, battery or diagnostic systems at our Turffontein workshop.
