Five Crucial Components of Brakes to Check Out!

When you accelerate, you expect your car to move forward. What happens when you apply the brakes? If you have had routine brake service performed on your vehicle, the components that make up the braking system should work efficiently and smoothly together. However, if you have been putting of a necessary service, you may not be able to depend on your brakes to stop when and where you want them to.

These five components of the braking system should be included in a basic brake service:

Pads -- The pads make contact with your rotors, creating the friction to stop your car.

Rotors -- The rotors are directly connected to each tire. To stop your car, the rotor must stop spinning, using the friction created by the pad.

Calipers - The calipers apply pressure and activate the pads to create contact with the rotors. The calipers require fluid in order to function properly.

Brake hose -- When you step on the pedal, fluid travels through the brake hose to each caliper, which in turn puts the pads into action.

Brake fluid – This is a crucial element needed to make your brakes operate successfully. When pressure is generated in the fluid lines, energy is distributed to each part so they can perform their main job — stopping your car. If you have a fluid leak, your car could take longer to stop or, worse, your brakes won't even operate.

How often should you have an inspection?

Just like an annual physical check up with your medical doctor, a yearly brake service is important. It will not only give you confidence in your brakes, it also allows you to spot the necessary smaller repairs that may be necessary so you can prevent them from getting bigger and more expensive. Of course, if you're experiencing problems, schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
