What is a common sign of a worn brake component?

Smooth braking response
Loss of grip during acceleration
Reduction in brake noise
Excessive pedal travel

The correct answer is: Excessive pedal travel

A common sign of a worn brake component is excessive pedal travel. When brake components, such as the brake pads or brake fluid, experience wear or degradation, it can lead to a situation where the brake pedal feels like it moves farther than usual before the brakes engage. This can happen due to a number of factors, including the need for brake pad replacement, air in the brake lines, or even a failing master cylinder. Excessive pedal travel indicates that there is an issue within the braking system that requires immediate attention to ensure safe braking performance. It can compromise the driver's ability to stop the vehicle effectively, making it crucial to address promptly.
