What should be the amount of brake pedal travel?

The amount of brake pedal travel can vary depending on the vehicle and its braking system, but generally, a typical range is about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of travel before feeling resistance. Excessive travel may indicate issues such as air in the brake lines, worn brake pads, or a need for brake fluid replacement. It's essential to ensure that the brake pedal feels firm and responsive for optimal safety and performance. If there's any doubt, it's advisable to have the braking system inspected by a professional.
