Brakes are very important, check why?

The most important safety feature in your vehicle is the brakes. Checking your brake warning light is one of the easiest ways to tell if they’re working properly is. If it’s on, they need your attention. Hence, you need brake and clutch repairs.

If you experience, any of the below less-obvious warning signs, refer a specialist to check your brakes:

Disc brake calipers are extremely important, why?

Because, when you apply pressure to your brake pedal, the pressure forces brake fluid to engage a series of mechanisms that push the brake pad onto the disc rotor bringing your car to a stop. The disc rotor is usually attached to the wheel assembly. The brake caliper mounts the brake pad. Brake caliper is the part that applies and releases the brake pads from the disc rotor.

The caliper comprises a housing, which has a piston inside that moves back and forth when the brakes are applied and released. The caliper has rubber parts inside it which makes sure that the hydraulic fluid does not leak from it.

If the vehicle’s calipers have not been overhauled for some time, your Western Prestige Auto brakes repairs specialist may recommend this service. They’ll always explain the reason why.

Overhauling calipers in axle sets is usually not needed but doing so can result in a more balanced braking and extended brake-pad life. Brake and cutch repairs help you achieve this.

Machining your disc rotors is important, learn why?

A disc rotor is the circular metal plate that the brake pad presses against to stop the car. Braking depends on the smooth surface of the disc rotor. The smoother the surface the efficient is the braking. Machining of disc rotors ensures maximum braking efficiency when new brake pads are fitted.

Disc rotors starts wearing after thousands of braking applications. They usually wear unevenly. New brake pads should fit flush against the disc rotor for effective braking. So the disc rotors should be machined by a specialist.

Replacing Brake Pads

The main purpose of the brake pad is to provide friction against the rotor.  This action typically creates a lot of heat and pressure. The rotor is spinning so fast that it shaves off some of the brake pad every time the two come into contact, creating brake dust. Overtime, the brake pad becomes so worn from constantly rubbing against the rotor that it needs replacement.

Squeaking brakes, for example, occur primarily because the upper layer of the brake pad has completely eroded, and the hard bottom layer is rubbing against the rotor. If the pad is not replaced soon, owners are going to have to purchase both new brake pads and rotors

Listen to what your brakes are trying to tell

Sticking Brake Pedal

The master cylinder may be faulty if the pedal fails to release. This condition can cause serious damage, if left too long, requires expensive repairs. This can even lead to total brake failure.

Noisy Brakes

It indicates the possibility of worn brake pads or linings. Have it checked immediately if the vehicle is displaying this warning sign.

Car Veers on Braking

On applying brakes if the car veers or pulls to one side. It may be as simple as adjusting your tyre pressure or the problem may be with your braking system, particularly the calipers.

Locking Brakes

On applying only light pressure the brakes grab or lock. Grease or oil on the brake linings can be the most probable cause of this behaviour. The brakes could also fail in an emergency due to lose or broken components.

Vibration (Steering wheel or vehicle)

A vibration in the pedal, steering or entire vehicle on applying the brakes can indicate problems with the brake drum or rotor, a faulty steering mechanism, or other loose components. All these conditions affect the handling of your vehicle.

Pulsating Brake pedal

A brake pedal pulsating under foot on applying pressure can be most likely due to the misalignment of the brake disc or drums which can be very dangerous in wet conditions. This can also lead to increased wear on the braking system and uneven tyre wear.

Warning Light

Brakes could be near to total failure if the warning lights on the brakes comes on. Check your car immediately, if it is displaying this warning sign.

Hard Pedal

Check your brakes immediately, if you require extreme foot pressure to depress the brake pedal. The underlying cause could be the power brakes, or possibly restricted hydraulic lines, frozen calipers or wheel cylinders, or damaged brake linings. All these problems demand immediate attention to ensure that the brakes continue to function effectively and safely.

Low Pedal

The brakes activate only when the brake pedal is almost completely touching the floor. You need a quick check-up to identify the problem. The brakes should respond quickly in an emergency, so look into this problem soon and never ignore.
