Default Re: Check the pads?

yeah i thought about that; however, there is that sensor, i think, that would pop up on the dash letting me know my pads are worn down. i'll get it in for service. one of my friends mentioned the 'brake booster'? honestly...i didnt even know what that was...

Default No, when I mean check the pads...

I mean get your hands dirty, remove them from the caliper and actually LOOK at them. Look for crumbling, signs of uneven wear, glazing, or anything else unusual.

FYI, that wear sensor is located on 1 inside pad. You have 4 pads on each caliper.
