Brakes

All About Brakes

• What they do: create the friction requisite to helping your vehicle slow down and stop.
• How many and what types there are: disc and drum -- for a total of two systems.
• How they work generally: the brake pedal is pressed, brake pistons pump through the master brake cylinder's bore, brake fluid is pressurized, and the fluid travels through brake hoses and lines. From there, how each type of brake works differs according to its parts.
• How drum brakes work: brake shoes clamp to brake drums.
• How disc brakes work: brake rotors fasten to brake calipers with brake pads attached to them.
• How long they last: that varies according to the condition of brake parts.
• The signs they need to be replaced: everything from warnings on the dash and pulling sideways when braking to shuddering brakes and a brake pedal that feels too soft or low. Others include weak brake grip, longer slowing and stopping times, and abnormal brake noises, like grinding.
• When they should be changed otherwise: when the results of a brake inspection require it. Check the brake pedal, fluid, lines, hoses, assemblies, and parking brake. Before you order parts, be sure they're those Mopar makes.
