Brake pads are a key component of any vehicle’s braking system. When you use your brakes, the pads hydraulically squeeze the brake discs, slowing your car down through friction and pressure. A loud screeching or grinding noise when you apply the brakes or feeling your car vibrating under braking is a clear indicator that your excising pads have worn out and new pads are required.
The brake disc or brake rotor is its known is a metal plate mounted on the wheel hub that is clamped between 2 brake pads when braking is applied which causes friction and slows the vehicle down. If you experience a loud screeching or grinding noises from your brakes this is an indication that there is a problem with either your brake discs or pads and you should stop driving and give us a call on (02) 9130 6660 to get advice on what to do next.
Your cars brake calipers are the most robust part of the brake system and may not need any replacement during the life of the car. However, being a very critical part of the cars braking system, it is important to have them replaced immediately when or if they develop an issue or they are broken. Your car may indicate the need for caliper replacement with sounds or vibrations when applying the brakes.
The condition of your brake fluid is a vital part of your car maintenance. Most manufacturers recommend that you change your brake fluid every 2 years or 30, 000 Kilometers, whichever comes sooner.
When you bring your car to Bondi Mechanical for a brake fluid change we will also give your car a free brake inspection to make sure that your cars brakes are in good, working order.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over a period of time, resulting in a reduction in braking efficiency. The moisture can also corrode your car’s brake lines, leading to expensive repair work as well as the possibility of loss of braking ability. To make sure your car’s brakes stay in peak order, routine checks and maintenance are a must. If you are not sure when your Brake Fluid was changed last its better to give us a call and have your car booked in for a brake fluid flush and change.
