What will my brake service include when I visit Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper?

This can be a more complex question to answer. Since there are numerous components to a brake system, there are different items that may be necessary for your service. Some vehicles may just need new brake pads, others may need a brake fluid flush, while some may need a resurfacing of rotors and new brake lines due to leaking brake fluid. Depending on the results of the multi-point examination, your Ford Ranger brake service may include:

• New Brake Rotors / Brake Drums Resurfaced
• Brake Master Cylinder Replacement
• Brake Caliper Replacement
• Brake Rotor & Brake Caliper Alignment
• Brake pad Replacement
• Brake Fluid Flush & Brake Fluid Replacement
• New Brake Hoses/Brake Lines

Ford Ranger Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Wear and tear on your brakes depends considerably on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Ford Ranger has, but frequently front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are normally under much less stress.

What is involved in a Brake System Inspection? Checking Ford Ranger Brake Parts & Brake Systems

At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, we offer a multi-point examination with each service visit that includes properly inspecting your Ford Ranger brakes, brake pads, rotors, operation, belts, hoses and filters, among other items, not just your brake system. Our tremendously accomplished mechanics will again look at the following when inspecting your brakes:

• Rotors / Brake Drums - determining if resurfacing or replacement is required
• Brake Operation & Parts - such as Brake Pad Thickness & hardware for disproportionate wear and tear
• Cylinders - check wheel cylinders & brake master cylinder for function
• Brake Fluid - Checking brake fluid levels, color and signs of obvious brake fluid leaks
• Brake hoses - problems with the hoses, like cracking or clogs are exceptionally common and need to be checked regularly as they can wear over time

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford Ranger rotors to slow or stop your car.
• 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 exceptionally critical to keep Ford Ranger brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ford Ranger maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford Ranger braking system together so it can function properly.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford Ranger brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• 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 Ranger.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford Ranger brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ford Ranger maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Rotors also 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 Ford Ranger

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.

What are the signs and symptoms of bad Ford Ranger brake rotors or pads?

Just like there are common brake issues, there are very apparent signs that can signify the cause of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, trouble stopping or a loud metal scraping sound are all indicators that you need to check your Ford Ranger brakes. Yet, there are multiple other, and less clear, indicators that your Ford Ranger brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.

Ford Ranger Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Ford Ranger service manual for suggested maintenance intervals for all components.
