Routine Brake servicing Oldham: New Brake discs and pads fitted to most cars
Most road vehicles require 2 brake pads per disc that fit into a brake caliper housing that applies symmetrical pressure to each side of the disc while braking
Ceramic - copper fibre based brake pads generally, offer a high friction coefficient for stopping power and tend not to suffer from brake fade as the discs heat up with heavy braking
The fluid level in hydraulic braking systems will naturally drop as the pads wear and can sometimes be used to trigger a sensor; don't top up the fluid without checking for pad wear first
High performance sports cars and racing cars need sufficient stopping power than most road vehicles and can be fitted with up to 6 brake pads per vented disc
It is possible to alter brake performance by replacing the oem pads with aftermarket pads having different friction characteristics and different brake surface temperatures - make sure any replacement pads don't detract from your stopping ability
While the brake pads will wear first; you should still monitor break disc thickness and condition and consider fitting new disc rotors according to manufacturer recommendations
Many brake discs are made from cast iron to ensure good wear resistance and ability to withstand deformation forces
Ventilated discs can have a high build up of rust-corrosion inside the vent cavity which can cause problems with disc performance - this should be checked at regular service intervals
While it is possible for brake discs to warp; the most common warp-effect is an uneven build up of high friction material deposited from the brake pad
The brake pipes within the wheel arch are subject to the Winter weather and can corrode leading to the loss of brake fluid and braking power
While the hydraulic braking system will stop the vehicle; stopping power is magnified by a brake servo
The pistons making up the master cylinder and Slave cylinder have seals that can fail leading to the rapid loss of brake fluid and stopping power
Each brake caliper is operated by a small piston that uses hydraulic power to press the brake pads against the disc surfaces
If the braking system is losing fluid you made to to fit a replacement brake cylinder
