Tell me about my Brake pressure is uneven assessment
If your brake pressure feels uneven — for example, the car pulls to one side when braking or the brakes apply inconsistently — it usually indicates a problem within the hydraulic system, brake calipers, or pads. Uneven brake pressure reduces stopping performance and can make your vehicle unsafe to drive.
What does uneven brake pressure mean?
Uneven brake pressure occurs when one or more wheels receive different braking force compared to the others. This imbalance often causes the car to pull left or right during braking, vibrations, or inconsistent stopping power. It is usually linked to hydraulic, caliper, or pad issues.
Common causes of uneven brake pressure
- Sticking or seized brake caliper
- Unevenly worn or contaminated brake pads
- Warped or damaged brake rotors
- Air or contamination in the brake lines
- Leaking brake hoses or hydraulic components
- Faulty brake master cylinder
Why do you need to fix this problem quickly?
Uneven brake pressure makes braking unpredictable and can increase stopping distances. It also places extra stress on suspension and steering components. Left unresolved, it may lead to dangerous situations on the road and costly repairs.
How do you know when to get it checked?
Signs of uneven brake pressure include:
- Car pulling to one side when braking
- Brake pedal feels inconsistent or changes resistance
- Uneven brake pad wear
- Vibration or shaking during braking
- Brake warning light illuminated on the dashboard
What happens during an assessment?
A mechanic will:
- Test drive the vehicle to confirm uneven braking behaviour
- Inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers on all wheels
- Check brake hoses and hydraulic lines for leaks or air
- Test the brake master cylinder for consistent pressure
- Repair or replace faulty components and bleed the system
How much does it cost to fix?
Costs vary depending on the cause. Brake pad replacement typically costs $200–$450 per axle, while replacing a seized caliper may cost $350–$700+. Hydraulic or master cylinder repairs may cost $400–$900+.
Is it unsafe to drive with uneven brake pressure?
Yes. Uneven brake pressure can cause the car to pull suddenly, increase stopping distances, and make emergency braking unsafe. If you notice these symptoms, the vehicle should be inspected immediately.
