Did you know that your car's brake pads don't wear out at the same time?
What is the cause? What effect does it have?
Cause 1: The brake disc is not smooth. Uneven wear
When we use our car regularly we have to step on the brakes. which is normal Every time you brake, the brake pads and brake discs rub against each other. to increase inertia in slowing down which will cause more and more wear and tear If the brake disc or the contact surface between the brake pads is not smooth and even Deceleration from braking can still work normally. But the wear and tear on the front brakes will not be the same.
So, what is the cause of the plate bending? Can it be fixed?
Can be solved. When the brake surface is warped or scratched We can grind the brake disc down. So that the contact surface returns to being smooth and even. Because of the bending of the brake disc The main cause is the accumulated heat that causes the steel to become deformed. And there is a high chance when we drive long distances and the heat temperature is accumulated in the brakes. The more you go through flooded areas or use water to spray brake pads. While the brakes are still hot, it can cause the brakes to deteriorate.
Cause 2: Sudden braking
sudden braking causing direct force to act on the brakes and has a negative effect on Brake caliper or brake mount. There is a chance that the brakes will shift. When we brake suddenly Makes the contact surface of the brake pads uneven. So you have to make a new adjustment and grind to open the new brake contacts.
One thing that should not be overlooked is regular inspections. Are our brake pads still in ready-to-use condition? Because otherwise it may cause danger to you and your car. If you find that your brakes have a problem, you can consult at Toyota Summit.
If there are any errors in the information, I apologize at this point.
