Chevrolet Corvette Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake parts usually wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should ask your Chevrolet Corvette service manual for suggested maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should regularly have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.

Chevrolet Corvette Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

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

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

  • Rotors still 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 Chevrolet Corvette
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Chevrolet Corvette 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 activate 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 Corvette.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Chevrolet Corvette brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Chevrolet Corvette maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Chevrolet Corvette rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Chevrolet Corvette braking system together so it can function properly.
  • 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 exceptionally crucial to keep Chevrolet Corvette brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Chevrolet Corvette maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.

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 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.

Miller Chevrolet Murray, we offer a multi-point examination with every service visit that includes properly inspecting your Chevrolet Corvette brakes, brake pads, rotors, operation, belts, hoses and filters, among other items, not just your brake system.
