West Jordan Brakes

Ensuring your vehicle’s brakes are in optimal condition is paramount for your safety on the road. Performing regular checks on your brakes, either personally or by consulting with a skilled vehicle maintenance technician, is crucial. Here’s a streamlined approach to evaluating your braking system:

Look at the Brake Pads

One of the simplest methods to assess the health of your brakes is by visually inspecting them. By peering through your wheel’s spokes, you should spot the brake pad pressed against the metal rotor. A healthy brake pad will maintain a thickness of at least a quarter inch. Should the pads seem thinner than this benchmark, it’s advisable to replace them promptly.

Listen While Driving

The noises emanating from your brakes can serve as critical indicators of their condition. Be alert to any unusual sounds such as a high-pitched squeal, which usually signals the wear indicator—a small metal fixture that emits this sound as a prompt for brake replacement. Furthermore, grinding or growling noises suggest severe wear, potentially leading to damaging contact between discs and calipers. Such situations warrant immediate inspection by a professional.

Feel the Difference

The sensations experienced when applying the brakes can reveal several issues. A sinking brake pedal may indicate a leak in the brake fluid or air within the system. If your vehicle tends to veer to one side during braking, this could be due to uneven lining wear or contaminants in the brake fluid. A vibrating pedal, reminiscent of the anti-lock braking system activation, might point towards warped rotors.

Brake System Mechanics

our car operates on a sophisticated hydraulic system that engages upon pressing the brake pedal, utilizing leverage, hydraulic force, and friction to bring the vehicle to a halt.

Brake Fluid Dynamics

Pressing the brake pedal exerts pressure on the brake fluid, which then proliferates through the brake system, enabling a piston to activate the brake pad against the brake disc, ultimately ceasing wheel rotation.

Essential Components – Brake Pads & Rotors

These elements are critical in generating the necessary friction to stop your vehicle.

Master Cylinder Functionality

Acting as the core of the brake system, the master cylinder’s integrity is vital, and although designed to last, may require replacement due to malfunction or damage, especially if your vehicle has been in an accident.
