Components of the Braking System
The braking system of a vehicle is a complex assembly of various components that work together to ensure safe and efficient stopping power. Here are the main components of the braking system:
Brake Pads
These friction materials press against the brake rotors to slow down or stop the vehicle. They are crucial for effective braking and need regular inspection and replacement.
Brake Rotors (Discs)
These are metal discs attached to the wheels. When the brake pads clamp onto the rotors, the friction slows down the wheels.
Brake Calipers
These are the hydraulic devices that house the brake pads and pistons. When you press the brake pedal, the calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotors to create friction and stop the vehicle.
Brake Lines and Hoses
These carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers. They must be in good condition to ensure the proper transmission of hydraulic pressure.
Master Cylinder
This is the component that converts the force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then sent through the brake lines to the calipers.
Brake Fluid
This hydraulic fluid transfers the force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers. It is essential for maintaining proper braking function and should be regularly checked and replaced.
Brake Drums Brake Drums (for drum brake systems)
These are similar to rotors but are used in drum brake systems, typically found on older vehicles or on the rear wheels of some vehicles. The brake shoes press against the inside of the drum to create friction and slow the vehicle.
Brake Shoes (for drum brake systems)
These are similar to brake pads but are used in drum brake systems. They press against the brake drums to create friction and stop the vehicle.
Brake Booster
This component uses vacuum pressure to amplify the force applied to the brake pedal, making it easier to press the pedal and improve braking efficiency.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Components
This includes sensors, an ABS control module, and the ABS pump. The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, helping to maintain steering control.
Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs Brake Repair
Squealing or Grinding Noises
These sounds often indicate worn brake pads or rotors.
Vibrations or Pulsations
Feeling vibrations when applying the brakes can signal warped rotors.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
A brake pedal that feels soft or goes to the floor may indicate air in the brake lines or a problem with the master cylinder.
Pulling to One Side
If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, it could be a sign of uneven brake pad wear or a brake fluid issue.
Brake Warning Light
If your brake warning light is illuminated, it’s essential to get your brakes checked immediately.
Our Brake Services
Brake Pad Replacement
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to ensure effective braking. We use high-quality brake pads to provide optimal performance and safety.
Rotor Replacement
Worn or damaged rotors can affect your vehicle’s braking efficiency. Our technicians can replace your rotors to ensure smooth and effective braking.
Brake Fluid Flush
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can reduce braking efficiency. A brake fluid flush involves replacing the old fluid with fresh fluid to maintain proper brake function.
Brake Line Repair
Damaged or leaking brake lines can compromise your vehicle’s braking system. We inspect and repair or replace brake lines to ensure your brakes work correctly.
