The Importance of Replacing Your Semi-Truck Brake Pads
Recognized semi-truck parts providers, like Thompson Truck Source, can extend your truck’s longevity and improve its performance, saving you money in the long haul. The following telltale signs will indicate that a diesel truck brake pad service is overdue:
- Inefficient and unsafe braking.
- Your semi-truck pulls to one side when you apply your brakes.
- A piercing squealing sound when you push the brakes, likely meaning the pad’s brake wear indicator is rubbing against the brake rotor surface.
- Feeling an aggressive pushback on your brake pedal, combined with an overbearing grinding sound.
If you notice these signs, book a brake pad service immediately. Any delay could mean a breakdown or, even worse, an accident. At Thompson Truck Source, we offer brake pad servicing and quality parts in the following locations:
