I'm wondering if squeaking brakes has to do with worn brake pads. They also seem to be less responsive than they should be.

It feels like you have to press harder to get the same stopping power. No brake light has come on, but to me that may only mean a bad sensor. The fluid level hasnt gone down and I recently replaced the MC with a brand new one.

My guess is the pads but are there other warning signs of worn pads? Or something else for that matter?

Thanks
