Few things are more important when it comes to your safety on the road than your Chevrolet SSR brakes. Since maintaining your SSR brakes is so integral to your driving experience, there are many built-in warning signals designed to let you know when your brakes need attention. It is rare that your Chevrolet SSR brakes will fail without warning, so you should be sure to familiarize yourself with the indications that brake work is needed.

Signs of brake problems will generally be related to either the sound or the feel of your SSR brakes. With healthy brakes, you should not hear anything at all when you depress the pedal.

If you hear squeaking, squealing, or grinding noises coming from your brakes, there is something wrong. A high-pitched squeaking or squealing, particularly if you hear it while driving but it stops when you engage the brake pedal, means that your brake pads are worn and will need to be replaced soon. If your Chevrolet SSR brakes are grinding, a sound that will typically follow ignored squeaking or squealing, this usually indicated that you have damaged your brake rotors, and possibly your calipers. After you have been driving your vehicle for a bit, you will become familiar with the “feel” of your brake pedal. If it seems harder than usual, you may have a pinched brake line or seized calipers; when your brakes are soft or sinking to the floor, it is likely that you have a hydraulic brake fluid leak in your lines, hoses, or master cylinder.
