Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Chevrolet brake system is comprised of the following key components:

Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Chevrolet brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Chevrolet
Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely essential to keep Chevrolet brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Chevrolet maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
Backing plate & return spring holds your Chevrolet braking system together so it can function correctly.
Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Chevrolet rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Chevrolet brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Chevrolet maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Chevrolet.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which likewise acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can likewise cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate likewise protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Chevrolet brake pads can cost somewhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad desired. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a specific type of brake pad to be ordered for your Chevrolet. Contact Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet today at 5753057061 or schedule your brake service online.

Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Chevrolet rotors will usually last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Chevrolet pads in a regular manner you can damage the other parts.
