If you’ve heard an unusual noise, you may be asking yourself, “Why are my brakes shaking and squeaking?” Shaking or squeaking brakes can happen for a variety of reasons, so you might have to talk to a certified technician to understand why that is happening. The brakes of your vehicle are one of the most important parts of keeping you safe on San Francisco, so it’s imperative to deal with the problem as soon as possible. It could be something wrong with your brake rotors, brake pads, or with your suspension. Get the details below from Victory Honda of San Bruno’s service center!
Your brake rotors work in conjunction with your brake pads to stop your wheels, therefore increasing the risk of harm while driving. A damaged or warped brake rotor is the most common reason for shaking or squeaking when braking. This is because rotors age over time, and braking wears them thinner and thinner. When they become too thin, they can be prone to damage, and heat during braking can warp them. If you have warped brake rotors, you’ll feel a vibrating sensation in your brake pedal. This is caused by your brake pads slipping as you brake around Oakland.
Similar to the brake rotors, your brake pads wear down over time as well. When brake pads are worn, damaged, or warped, you’ll hear a squeaking sound along with quivering you’ll feel through the brake pedal. We can easily replace worn pads with new brake pads today near Hayword.
The last possibility for shaking or squeaking when braking is a problem with your suspension or with the alignment of your vehicle. Over time, suspension components such as ball joints, wheel bearings, or tie rods wear out. This impacts your braking and can cause your vehicle to vibrate or shake when braking during a turn on a Hayword road.

Because there are a variety of root causes, we suggest you speak with a professional mechanic at Victory Honda of San Bruno to diagnose the problem accurately and provide a reasonable solution.
