Description

  Your automobile's brake system may be one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the master cylinder forces brake fluid via the brake lines into the wheel cylinders or calipers pistons. This activates the brake shoes or pads, which rub against the rotor or drum, and this slows your car down. You should check and service your brake system every six months to keep it in working order. While the car is on the ground, you should use a lug wrench or an impact wrench to loosen the lug nuts. Doing it this way prevents the tires from spinning. This helps break the lug loose more efficiently and more safety.   There are many things that can go wrong with your brakes. All these problems require immediate attention, but first you have to find out exactly what's going on with your brakes. If you hear screeching, metallic sound when you apply your brakes, the pads are probably wearing out and need replacement. If your brake pedal feels soft and doesn't stop the car right away. you may have a fluid leak or air in the brake system. If your pedal feels too stiff, the vacuum booster could be failing. If you discover any of these problems, take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible to have them fixed.
