Do you know the parts of your brakes?
Not many drivers do.
Your brakes are the most vital safety feature on your vehicle, and maintaining them is essential for confident driving around Akron and Green, Ohio. Our Nissan-certified technicians at Fred Martin Nissan understand every part of your brake system. We not only inspect them but can also explain exactly how they work.
Key Components of Your Braking System:
Brake Pads and Shoes: These are the friction materials. Pads are used in disc brakes (rotors), and shoes are used in drum brakes. When you press the pedal, they squeeze or press against the wheel component to slow you down. They wear out over time and need regular replacement.
Rotors and Drums: These are the metal surfaces that rotate with your wheels. The rotors (for disc brakes) or drums (for drum brakes) absorb the heat generated by friction and must be smooth and strong to provide effective stopping power.
Calipers and Wheel Cylinders: The calipers house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to squeeze the pads onto the rotors. In drum systems, wheel cylinders push the brake shoes against the drums.
Brake Fluid and Hydraulic System: This fluid transmits the pressure from your brake pedal all the way to the wheels. Clean, fresh brake fluid is critical for maintaining stopping power and preventing component corrosion.
When you bring your vehicle to Fred Martin Nissan, our experts inspect all these components for wear and ensure we only use genuine Nissan parts for any replacements, guaranteeing the perfect fit and performance your vehicle was designed for. If you hear squealing, grinding, or notice your brake pedal feels soft, it’s time to schedule your complimentary brake inspection with us today.
