Brakes tend to cry out before they're seriously hurt - which is no bad thing! Considering how much our safety depends on the brakes, it's good to know that we get a good deal of advance notice of any potential problems. The fact remains, however that one ignores these noises at his own peril. Even whining brakes will soldier on, perhaps for months before the situation becomes dire.

If the situation is not addressed however, the squealing and whining noises will eventually give way to an ugly grinding sound. The gory truth is that the brake pads are gone, and now, your calipers are digging into the bare metal of the brake rotors.

It's sort of what happens to us when the cartilage between bones wears away (and if you're anywhere near age fifty, you probably know what that's all about!) Our lives literally depend on our brakes. When your brakes start to cry out for help, don't put things off - come see us. Browse through our online catalog and you'll find a huge selection of parts for your Chevy C2500 Brakes. Brake linings provide a surface for the calipers to grab onto, creating the friction that actually stops the vehicle. A "soft" or "spongy" feeling brake pedal indicates a different sort of problem. When the brake pedal starts to travel too far toward the floor, it means insufficient brake fluid. It may help to add hydraulic brake fluid to the master cylinder, but it could also indicate a leak in the brake system. A new brake cylinder or brake lines may be necessary.
