How often should you replace your brakes?
Check your brakes every 6 months to see what type of wear and tear is happening. Of course if you hear a metal grinding or feel a shimmy in the front end have them checked at that time. Newer cars have sensors that indicate when brakes are bad. I usually have my brakes checked when I have my tires changed, about once a year. Depending on the amount of driving you do this could vary. Brakes have a 'squeal' factor to them, also. If you hear a high pitched squeal when you step on the brakes, it is an indicator that they should be checked and probably replaced. Dealerships check the brakes at the same time they do tuneups. Next time you take the car in, ask for a list of the items they check at the tune up times. Most check every 15,000 miles, or about once a year.

Why is your steering wheel wobbly and pulling sharp to the left?
Sounds like a slipped belt in one of the front tires. Have the tires checked and replace as necesary. I recommend in pairs (front or rear at the same time) or all four.
How often should you check your brakes?
You should check your brakes at least one time each year. You should also check them whenever you have your tires rotated.
How do know i need my tires balanced?
If you feel any vibration or shimmy in the steering wheel or if you feel the same things in the vehicle you have a tire out of balance. As you need to rotate your tires at least every 10,000 miles that is a good time to have the tire balance checked.
What would cause a car with new tires to shimmy even after correcting 3 imbalanced tires and after having alignment checked prior to new tires?
If it shakes and shimmys when you apply the brakes, it could be your rotors being warped. Your rotors can be warped by air wrenches tightening you lug nuts. Which could happen when getting new tires or getting brakes done. Ask mechanics to hand tighten with lug wrench next time--no air wrench. Or it could be a bad set of tires or tire with some sort of imperfection or bubble in it--that you wouln't see but only feel when driving. Or it could be the CV Joint and Axle.

Why would a ford escort steering wheel shake at low speed?
If your tires are properly inflated and they are in good condition, take your car in to have the tires checked for proper alignment and balance. Your tire could have been knocked out of alignment upon hitting the curb while parking. After having my brakes fixed and a couple tires replaced, I experienced the same problem. It is an easy fix but you can't do it yourself. I went a long time before getting it fixed on my car but the longer you wait the more apt you are to be damaging your rims and your car doesn't respond as quickly when the tires aren't perfectly set, aligned and balanced.
How often should drum brakes be replaced?
It depends. High quality brakes can last a very long time if you drive your car properly and do not rabbit drive. If they are squeaking, you should have them checked out.
