JEEP BRAKE SERVICE - Brighton Jeep
JEEP BRAKES AT Brighton Jeep
For ongoing vehicle safety and peace of mind, we recommend the brakes on your Jeep are regularly maintained and inspected so they perform when you need them most.
Our qualified service technicians will perform a thorough diagnosis of your vehicle including a measurement of the brake pads to determine the life of your vehicle’s brakes.
YOUR GUIDE TO BRAKES
If your brakes are squeaking, grinding or just not stopping correctly, it might be time to get a replacement. You can bring your vehice into City Jeep service centre for assistance but first, let’s go over some basics so you know what to look for and what to tell your service technician.
1. BRAKE PAD
Material that comes into contact with the rotor and causes friction to stop the vehicle. The friction eventually wears out the pads and if they go below the minimum thickness, it is essential to get them replaced. If they wear down too much, the metal backing might scrape against the rotor causing damage.
2. CALIPER
Holds the brake pad in position on the rotor.
3. DUST CAP
Keeps dirt and other contaminants away from the axle area.
4. ROTOR
The steel plate that is connected to the vehicle’s tyres. Friction with the brake pads cause the rotor (and the vehicle) to stop spinning. The brake rotor also wears down over time. A Jeep specialist can check to see if it needs replacing.
SIGNS YOUR BRAKES MAY NEED TO BE CHECKED
If you can hear a squealing noise from your brakes
If your vehicle takes longer than normal to stop, this is called ‘brake fade’
If the brake pedal vibrates when pressed, this may mean the brake pads are worn out
If the brake pads appear to be severely thin and worn out
