In this Part One episode, I’m at LATTC with professor Jordan Cantillano talking through some basic and not-so-basic information about brakes that's helpful for everyone to know. We talk about pads, rotors, what normal wear actually looks like, and how much your driving style affects how fast things wear out.

We also get into the stuff you’ll actually notice day to day—squeaking wear indicators, that steering wheel shake when rotors are uneven, and how to do your own check on pads and rotors. We talk about the importance of keeping your brake fluid fresh and how moisture can quietly change how the brake pedal feels over time. And more to come next week!

Check out LATTC's huge list of areas of study! There's a class for everyone.
