Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to trigger 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 Ford.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford 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 Ford maintenance schedule for more advice on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely crucial to keep Ford brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Ford maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several 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 Ford
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford braking system together so it can function perfectly.

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 equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mostly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
