Our brake professionals know that even though a steady braking system focuses most of its attention on the front wheels, the brakes also need good support on the back wheels. It is important to keep a slight advantage on the front wheels' disc brakes, since when you stop the car, the entire weight is thrown forward. The back wheels' drum brakes are slightly less powerful for that very reason. However, too much brake bias on either side causes your car to easily slide out of control come stopping time, endangering you and any passengers.
Over time, your brakes become less effective. Sometimes, this process occurs so slowly you might not even realize it until the braking problem has reached risky levels. This is why experts recommend having your brakes checked regularly, at least once a year if not more, to ensure everything is in working order. However, if you notice any of the following signs in your car, it is time to come rushing to Tommy Transmissions:
