Why do my brakes feel rough?

When ABS is triggered during hard braking, the high-frequency brake pressure modulation control is what results in the “grating” or rough feedback through the brake pedal. This is perfectly normal. Do not release the brake pedal when you feel this, as it means that the system is working.

Why is my front brake dragging to the side?

Worn-out brake pads makes the backing plates to steadily lose its material, thereby causing metal touching other metal, resulting in squeaking noises.
