Let Fullerton CDJR Care for your Brakes

Each year, auto manufacturers seem to be adding new safety features to their vehicles, advancing safety technologies in ways we never thought possible. However, one component of your vehicle protects you from a collision. This is your braking system. If your Jeep’s brakes are malfunctioning, you may notice unusual noises when you use the brakes or a decrease in stopping power. If you notice these symptoms, you should get your brakes checked out as soon as possible, as it could be a matter of safety. Here at Fullerton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we take your safety very seriously. On this page, you can learn more about your brakes and the services we offer to help keep your Jeep’s brakes performing their best. Keep reading below to learn more!

How Does a Disc Brake System Work?

At each wheel, your car’s braking system consists of three parts; calipers, pads, and rotors. Like all modern vehicles, your Jeep uses a hydraulic system to stop the car. This means that the mechanical force from you pressing the brake pedal is converted to hydraulic pressure inside the brake booster, rushing brake fluid through the brake lines. When the brake fluid reaches the caliper, it presses a piston that squeezes the pad against the rotor. The friction between the pads and the rotors is enough to bring the car to a stop. 

What is the Importance of Brake Fluid

From the brake booster to the brake lines to the calipers, pads, and rotors, your Jeep’s braking system is fairly complex. However, without brake fluid and the hydraulic pressure it creates, these parts wouldn’t provide the stopping power you need. Like any other fluids and oils in your car, the brake fluid must be tested and replaced whenever necessary. Brake fluid is susceptible to contamination. The two major contaminants of brake fluid are oxygen and moisture. Oxygen causes oxidization in the brake fluid, lowering its boiling point and, in turn, causing a decrease in stopping power. Similarly, water can cause internal rust, which will also lead to longer braking times. If left untreated, contaminated brake fluid can lead to brake failure. There is an easy fix that our service center provides, however. A professional brake fluid flush will remove the old fluid and clean the fluid reservoir and replace it with new, clean fluid. 

When Should I Have My Brakes Inspected?

Your Jeep will tell you that something is not right with your brakes in a variety of ways. The most common brake malfunction symptom that drivers experience is a metal-on-metal squealing or grinding noise. A decrease in stopping power oftentimes accompanies this noise. This sound most often comes from excessive wear to your brake pads and/or rotors. Your calipers, unless seized or malfunctioning, rarely require replacement. Another symptom drivers may notice is a soft or “spongy” brake pedal. This spongy feeling under your foot when you press the brake pedal is caused by a decrease in hydraulic pressure. This could be caused by a leak in the brake lines, a seized caliper, or a malfunctioning brake booster. If you experience any of these symptoms with your Jeep, don’t hesitate to bring it to the service center here at Fullerton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to have an expert technician diagnose the issue. 

When is it Time to Replace My Brakes?

While most car makers say disc brakes should last roughly 50,000 miles, this depends heavily on your driving habits and where you drive most. For example, if you spend most of your time behind the wheel on the highway, you will see significantly less brake wear than someone who drives in stop-and-go traffic more often than not. However, excessive brake wear can also be caused by a seized caliper. When a caliper’s piston is seized, it will essentially apply slight pressure between the pad and rotor at all times, wearing the pads much faster than on other wheels. This is the cause for the replacement of the caliper in addition to the pads and rotors. One caliper can be done at one time as long as the others are working properly. However, pads and rotors should be replaced by the axle, meaning if you do the left front pads and rotors, the right front pads and rotors should be done as well.
