What will my brake service include when I visit Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray?

This can be a more complicated question to answer. Since there are multiple parts to a brake system, there are different items that may be required 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 Chevrolet Equinox brake service may include:

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

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Chevrolet Equinox braking system together so it can function correctly.
• Rotors still 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 Chevrolet Equinox
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Chevrolet Equinox rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Chevrolet Equinox brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Chevrolet Equinox 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 Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
• 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 Chevrolet Equinox.
• 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 vital to keep Chevrolet Equinox brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Chevrolet Equinox maintenance schedule for the recommended 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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also 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 also 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. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Chevrolet Equinox 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 Equinox has, but normally front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are normally under much less stress.
