Tips to Discover Problems With The Land Rover Freelander Brakes 



Are you experiencing a vibration or harshness when your brakes are applied? As previously mentioned, brake disc wear can be the source of not just inefficient braking but can also be the likely culprit for noise vibrations and or an overly harsh sensation through the brake pedal or steering wheel.

Do you feel as if your Freelander brake pedal is spongy? Do you feel as though you have lost some brake pedal height? Your pedal may even touch the floor under heavy braking or your brakes no longer provide sufficient brake force.

Do you feel your Freelander brakes drag when applied? Dragging brakes are usually caused by issues with the brake calipers pistons and pins as well as the parking brake cables and so it would be a good idea to check these for sticking, binding or leaking.

Are you experiencing slow or incomplete brake pedal return in your Freelander? To check your brake pedal return you should begin by running your engine at idle while making several brake applications.
