Understanding Your Brakes:

Pay close attention to how your brakes feel and sound. If you experience any of the following, it's crucial to schedule a brake service even if you haven't reached the 12,000-mile interval:

• Grinding sensation: This could indicate worn brake pads or a problem with the rotors.
• Loss of pressure: A soft or spongy brake pedal may signal a leak in the brake lines or an issue with the master cylinder.
• Vibrations in the brake pedal: This could be a sign of warped rotors or a problem with the caliper.
• Squealing sound: A high-pitched squeal often means your brake pads are wearing thin and need replacement.

A spongy or low brake pedal is a serious warning sign. It often indicates a leak in your brake lines or a problem with the master cylinder, which can significantly reduce your stopping power. If your brake pedal feels soft, sinks to the floor, or requires less pressure than usual, it's crucial to have your brakes inspected immediately. Don't risk your safety – schedule an appointment with Spring Works today.

We’ve all cringed at the sound of squealing brakes at one point or another. Brakes squeal when the brake pads are starting to wear thin. They can also squeal if there’s a lot of dust on the brake rotor, or if there’s glazing on the rotors or brake pads, which is often caused by excessive heat. Read more about brake noises. If your brakes are squealing, bring them in for inspection.

Most newer passenger vehicles and some commercial vehicles have a disc brake system in their front tires. Disc brakes have become increasingly more common since they were first introduced in the 1970s, and some newer vehicles even have four disc brakes and zero drum brakes.

The disc brake system is made up of a brake rotor (in this case, a disc), which rotates along with the wheel. Brake pads clamp the disc as a form of friction material that’s fitted to a caliper on each side, thanks to pressure from a piston. The piston provides pressure so the disc rotation can decelerate. When you push the brake while driving, you’re pushing hydraulic fluid through the calipers, which in turn bring the brake pads together to clamp on the rotor. This is what causes you to stop.

There are two types of disc brake systems: the opposed piston type disc brake and the floating type disc brake. The opposed piston type disc brake has pistons on both sides of the disc rotor. The floating type disc brake (also referred to as the sliding pin type disc brake) only has a piston on one side.  Check out our brake disc blog.
