Hello Cresthill, let\u2019s talk about\u00a0brakes<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Braking, as all Cresthill drivers know,\u00a0<\/strong>is slowing or stopping a vehicle. As you can imagine, brakes are engineered to work well on a particular vehicle application. For example, you would expect more powerful brakes on a heavy-duty pickup that routinely hauls big loads and pulls trailers, than you would on a compact car. And a Corvette that can go over 180 miles per hour would have much different braking needs than the family mini-van you drive around Cresthill.
\n\"49676_Brakes_0909_SusanneAlan_SV_s\"<\/a>But the mechanical aspects of the brakes themselves are just one issue. There\u2019s also the\u00a0power brake pump<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0brake fluid<\/strong>. And then there are the\u00a0tires<\/strong>, which are critical to the effectiveness of the brakes.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s step back. A new sedan or truck rolls off a local Cresthill dealer showroom floor. It has brand new brakes with brand new brake pads. The brake lines and pump are filled with fresh fluid and are completely clean inside. And the tires are brand new, with full tread.<\/p>\n

Naturally, braking power is at its peak performance. Now the miles start to add up on the sedan. We tend to focus on the\u00a0brake pads<\/strong>. In the business, the pads, and shoes on drum brakes, are called the friction material. That\u2019s because they provide the friction used to stop the vehicle.\u00a0The pads are designed to be effective throughout their useful life \u2013 it\u2019s not until they are worn so thin as to be out of spec that they lose stopping effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mechanical parts of the brakes have pistons and springs that get quite a workout while breaking.<\/strong>Over many miles, these wear and get gummed up. They start to lose effectiveness gradually and could even fail.\u00a0That\u2019s why a regular brake inspection is important for your sedan.<\/strong>\u00a0At AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE we can test the operation of the brakes and see if any parts need cleaning or replacing.<\/p>\n

That leads us to\u00a0brake fluid service<\/a>\u00a0at AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE. Some of the critical additives in the fluid that lubricate and clean the sedan fluid system are depleted over time. That and moisture building up in the system deteriorate the performance of the brake fluid. A brake service at AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE cleans out deposits, water and dirt. Then the system is filled up with fresh fluid.<\/p>\n

The tires are what connect the sedan to the road.\u00a0The stopping force is ultimately dependent on the traction provided by the tires. The better they grip the road, the quicker you\u2019ll stop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is especially important on wet Cresthill roads. Studies have shown that wet stopping distance increases significantly as tires wear down. Cresthill drivers need to understand that they can have brakes that are operating at peak efficiency and yet still be in danger because their tires are worn out.<\/p>\n
