Chevrolet Trax Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

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

  • Rotors / Brake Drums - determining if resurfacing or replacement is required

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Chevrolet Trax rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Chevrolet Trax 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 Trax maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Chevrolet Trax braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
  • 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 Chevrolet Trax brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Chevrolet Trax maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
  • 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 Chevrolet Trax.
  • Rotors again 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 Chevrolet Trax
  • 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 Trax brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.

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

Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Chevrolet Trax rotors will often last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Chevrolet Trax pads in a regular manner you can damage the other components.

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