Common symptoms (and what they usually mean)

Use this as a quick triage list before ordering parts:

  • Grinding / metal noise: pads may be gone; inspect rotors immediately.
  • Pulling to one side: sticking caliper, uneven pads, or hose issues.
  • Shudder / vibration: warped rotors or pad material transfer.
  • Soft pedal: air in system, fluid issues, leaks, or worn components.

What to check first

A quick inspection often tells you exactly what to replace:

  • Pad thickness and uneven wear
  • Rotor condition (scoring/heat spots) and thickness
  • Caliper function and slide pins
  • Brake hoses for cracks/bulging; check for leaks
  • Brake fluid condition (dark fluid = flush is overdue)

Parts commonly replaced

These are the usual shopping list items for a proper refresh:

  • Pads + rotors (and hardware)
  • Calipers or rebuild components (when sticking/leaking)
  • Brake hoses (especially on older rigs)
  • Brake fluid + bleed service supplies
