Ford Escape Brake Specials

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

• Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different 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 Escape
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford Escape brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ford Escape maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford Escape rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford Escape brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford Escape braking system together so it can function perfectly.
• 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 Ford Escape.
• 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 critical to keep Ford Escape brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ford Escape maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.

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 again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again 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 again 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. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Should I replace all 4 rotors?

Typically you will need to change at least 2 rotors at a time. Usually, your Ford Escape front rotors will wear and tear faster than the rear rotors, but this depends on a wide range of different factors. Ask Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper for more details by dialing 3854255592 and ask for a multipoint check of your entire braking system. At our Ford diagnostics are free during any visit.
