We've been keeping families safe for more than 10 yrs.. LOW BRAKE FLUID
Usually indicates a leak in the brake system which poses a serious safety
hazard. The calipers, wheel cylinders, brake hoses and lines, and master
cylinder all need to be inspected. If a leak is found, the defective component
must be replaced or rebuilt. The vehicle should not be driven until the repairs
can be made because a leak may lead to brake failure.
LOW BRAKE PEDAL
Can result if shoe adjusters on drum brakes stick and fail to compensate for
normal lining wear. Adjusting them may restore a full pedal, but unless the
adjusters are cleaned or replaced the problem will return as the linings wear.
Other causes include worn brake linings or a fluid leak.
SPONGY OR SOFT BRAKE PEDAL
Means there is air in the brake system either as a result of improper bleeding,
fluid loss or a very low fluid level. The cure is to bleed the brakes using the
sequence recommended for the specific vehicle. Another possible cause is a
rubber brake hose that is "ballooning" when the brakes are applied.
EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL
TRAVEL Possible causes include worn brake linings, misadjusted drum
brakes, and air in the brake lines. Potentially dangerous because the system may
run out of pedal before the vehicle can be safely stopped.
PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR
A
dangerous condition caused by a worn master cylinder or a leak in the
hydraulic system will not allow the brakes to hold pressure.
SCRAPING NOISE FROM BRAKES Usually indicates metal-to-metal contact and the
need for a long overdue brake job. Drum and rotor resurfacing will likely be
needed in addition to new linings and brake hardware. BRAKE SQUEAL
Can be caused by vibrations between the disc pads and caliper,
which can be cured by resurfacing the rotors, applying a non directional finish
to the rotors after resurfacing, installing new pads and pad shims, or applying
brake grease or noise compound to the backs of the pads. BRAKE CHATTER
Can be caused by warped rotors or rotors that have been improperly
finished. GRABBY BRAKES
Oil, grease or brake fluid on the linings will cause them to grab.
The cure is to identify and eliminate the source of contamination, then replace
the linings. Badly scored drums or rotors can also grab. Resurfacing may be
needed. DRAGGING BRAKES May create a steering pull and/or increased fuel consumption.
Caused by weak or broken retracting springs on drum brakes, a jammed or corroded
caliper piston, a floating caliper with badly corroded mounting pins or bushings
(uneven pad wear between the inner and outer pads is a clue here), overextended
drum brake self-adjusters or a sticky or frozen emergency brake cable. BRAKES PULL TO ONE SIDE Caused by contaminated linings, misadjusted brakes, a
bad wheel cylinder or caliper, dragging brakes on one side or loose wheel
bearings. Can also be caused by a mismatch of friction materials side-to-side on
the front brakes or differences in rotor thickness, type or condition.
