How to Replace Front Brakes 2011-15 Chevy Cruze

Created on: 2020-01-09

Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes. How to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2011-15 Chevy Cruze.
