Understanding Brake Performance & When to Service
Although the team at Tinjtoo Auto Repair will take care of all the details of your car’s brake repair, we’re glad to explain what you might want to know about your car’s system. First, it’s helpful to know that your vehicle’s brakes work using hydraulic pressure. When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid is forced through the lines from the master cylinder. Once it reaches the smaller cylinder at each wheel, it moves the brake caliper, forcing the brake pad against the rotor. That’s a large disc just to the inside of the wheel. The friction generated from contact between the pad and rotor stops your car. Thus, a tiny amount of effort on your part to press the brake pedal is multiplied so that you can stop a large automobile. Your brakes operate trouble-free for long periods of time, but you’ll eventually need service. It’s best to have us check the brakes periodically. Between visits, watch for signs pointing to the need for brake repair. The most commonly needed repair is brake pad replacement. Usually, a squealing noise during braking lets you know that the pads are wearing beneath their minimum safe thickness. Also, if your car pulls to one side when you apply brakes, something may be broken, allowing one side of the braking system to be stronger. Furthermore, vibration during braking likely indicates a warped rotor. A burning odor may betray a stuck brake caliper or reveal that the emergency brake has been left engaged.
