Stop on a dime!
We are all well aware of the undeniable role brakes play in the safety of our drive, but how many of us are well-informed about the magic behind these stopping powerhouses?
Our brakes, regardless of make and model, operate under an exceptional combination of engineering brilliance and complex science. Fundamentally, brakes are an ensemble of several parts, including rotors, brake pads, callipers, and brake lines. In the simple push of a pedal, hydraulic fluid propels through these lines, creating the pressure that triggers your callipers to clasp your brake pads onto the rotors. It's this incredible symphony that allows your two-tonne vehicle to stop on a dime, ensuring the safety of your journey.
However, just like the conductor of an orchestra needs regular tuning to bring out the best symphony, so does your braking system to perform at its peak. Brake checks, if performed on a consistent basis, can detect potential issues well before they become dangerous problems, thereby enhancing the overall longevity of your vehicle.
How do you determine when your brakes need attention? Below are a few telltale signs to keep in mind:
- Unusual Noise: Squeaking or squealing when braking could signal worn-out brake pads.
- Vibrations: If your brake pedal trembles when pressed, it might be a case of warped rotors.
- Fluid Leakage: Loss of braking power could indicate a leakage in the hydraulic system.
- Warning Lights: Never ignore any brake-related warning signals on your dashboard.
