When you slam the brakes in an emergency, for example, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) slows your car down by pumping the brakes very quickly rather than slamming the brake pads in one go. The pumping motion allows the driver to maintain control over the vehicle while and until it comes to a complete stop.
It’s a metallic squeal when in motion. This means your brake pads are worn out and should be replaced before you get rotor damage.
This can be caused by several things, such as damaged rotors or malfunctioning callipers. The source of the shudder is either the front or rear brakes or both.
Much happens when you press down on the brake pedal. The brake pads are located on each side of the rotors (flat, rotating discs attached to each wheel). When you press the brake pedal, the cylinders supply brake fluid to the callipers (clamps) so they can activate the brake pads, which sandwich the spinning rotor and slow it down through friction, thus bringing the wheel to a stop. Callipers are found on each wheel, work to squeeze the brake pads against the rotors, and function properly with brake fluid.
It’s helpful to flush the entire system. Most manufacturers suggest brake fluid replacement every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Brake fluid, the key to a properly functioning brake system, must stand up to high heat and pressure. Brake fluid attracts moisture, which is so pervasive that it can penetrate even sealed systems. When moisture mixes with brake fluid, it causes the fluid’s boiling point to lower, increasing the chances of corrosion and poor braking. At Dot Transmissions, we replace the brake fluid to help reduce that risk and to prolong the life of brake components.
In the owner’s manual for your vehicle, the manufacturer mentions the required intervals for brake inspections. Moreover, early detection is key in maintaining the high performance of your brakes. With this in mind, we recommend you have your brakes inspected at least once a year, if not at the first signs of a brake problem.
Don’t wait until you hear your brakes grinding or squeaking. A grinding noise means the brake parts are meeting the rotors, causing a lot of damage. The rate at which your brake pads wear down varies. To help your brake pads last longer, avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, get into the habit of coming to a gradual stop. Schedule an appointment at Dot Transmissions today for a brake inspection.
I brought my truck to DOT, thinking it needed a new transmission. They could have taken my money, done the job, and I wouldn’t of thought much else of it. Instead they looked it over and told me it was probably fine for now. That’s honesty!
