Good Brakes and Safe Braking Tips:



Brake fail of a moving vehicle is a nightmare but it has less chances but Poor braking is quite a possibility and a major contributor to accidents.

What is involved in safe braking:

1   Good Tires
2   Good Brakes
3   Good Wheel Alignment

I like cover Good Brakes in detail: Components involved in Safe/Good Brakes:

1   Good Brake Pads/Shoes
2   Good Rotors/ Drums
3   Good Calipers/ Wheel Cylinders
4   Good Brake Booster without Vacuum Leak
5   Good Brake Master Cylinder
6   Good Brake Lines & proportionate valve
7   Good Brake Pedal without excessive play
8   Good ABS pump/motor assembly
9   Workable Breather Valves
10 Proper level of Brake Fluid of good quality
11 Proper release of air from brake master cylinder/caliper pistons/wheel cylinders and brake lines
12 Any amount of air bubbles in brake lines reduce braking capacity
13 A run out in rotors or drums also reduce braking capacity
14 If vehicle equipped with rear brake drums: Periodic cleaning and brake adjustment is necessary to                maintain good braking power
15  Proper lubrication of caliper pins and free of rust is utmost important for good braking (Very important         for front brakes)
16  Quality of Brake Pads material also makes big difference for proper braking and long-lasting brakes.

17   All vacuum lines, hydraulic lines, electrical wiring and devices and sensors, mechanical wires for hand brakes and all mechanical components involved must be in good working condition without any wear tear and rust etc.

These are most crucial factors involved in braking and proper functioning of ABS system is very important as well. If ABS warning light is ON, it means anti-lock brake system is non-functional and unsafe.

Regardless of Good Brakes and Good Tires, never under-estimate the Power of Safe Driving that includes safe speed and safe distance from front vehicles.

Note: This article is for general knowledge and not a proper procedure for repair and maintenance of braking system. For replacing any component please follow factory manual or third party service manuals. It is always advisable to utilize services of a Repair Shop.
