Brakes

The braking system in your Toyota is one of the hardest working in your vehicle. Worn out brakes cannot do their required job and will not be effective when you need them, which can put your safety at risk on the road. They are something that need to be regularly serviced and checked in order to maintain their effectiveness. There are several signals that they might be wearing out that you should pay attention to as well. For starters, your car might be equipped with a brake light that indicates a potential problem or need for inspection. A metallic noise when you're driving your car might indicate that your brake pads are making direct contact with your rotors - meaning they might have worn down too thin. Loud grinding sounds might also be a sign of failing brake rotors. If you notice any shaking in your steering wheel or vibrating as you apply your brakes, your rotors may have become warped or developed grooves. You might notice fluid leaking around your master cylinder if there is a problem with your system as well. Make sure you buy OEM Toyota brake system parts when you need to make a replacement.
