Brake Repair & Maintenance
Your complete guide to understanding brakes and ensuring safety on the road.
Your brake system uses friction to slow and stop your vehicle. Brake pads press against rotors (discs) to create this friction. Over time, pads wear down and must be replaced.
The Role of Each Brake Component: - Brake Pads: Create friction with the rotors to slow down the car - Rotors (Discs): Work with the pads to bring the car to a stop - Calipers: Apply the pressure needed for the pads to grip the rotors - Brake Fluid: Transmits force from your brake pedal to the brake pads
Remember, brake maintenance is not just about avoiding high repair costs; it's about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Regular checks and timely repairs are crucial.
Key Tips
- •Noise: Squealing or grinding indicates that pads or rotors need attention
- •Vibration: Wobbling or shaking during braking often points to rotor issues
- •Pedal Feel: A soft brake pedal may be a sign of air in the hydraulic system
- •Performance: A decrease in braking efficiency can mean your brakes need service
