Hi all how can you tell if the front break disks are worn or warp.Are there any signs
-
crap break pedal
uneven breaking
when braking the car may judder
hope that is of any help mate :y
-
The safest way to know is to remove one wheel. this way you can know for sure. If they have scratches change them immediately. There is nothing more important than properly working brakes. If the brake pads were worn out and they touched the discs with metal surface it is extremly dangerous because the discs itself can brake in piexces
-
Ok buddy also the steering is crap to it always pulls to the left.1 min it can be fine then it goes to pulling to the left again

Score marks are themselves not dangerous. :-?

Because of the scoremarks the car can brake unevenly and even swing the hole car to the side if you hit the brakes hard.

bottom arms or even steering idler
maybe even check your tyre pressures
yes it sounds daft but if one front tyre is low on pressure and you go over an uneven bit of round it can make th car pull over the uneven bit of road
