Safety should always be a critical element of your car care. So even if you don’t care about how your car looks, you should practice preventive maintenance to protect yourself — and other Wichita car owners — on the road. And good safety starts with good brakes. Brakes need a regular inspection. There are important parts that wear out or wear down, and it’s best to replace them before you have problems. Of course, if you are having trouble with your brakes, NOW is the time to fix them. If your brake warning light is on, that’s a good sign that you need your brakes checked. Wichita car owners can also tell something is wrong with their brakes by the feel of the pedal or unusual sounds while braking. If the brake pedal is low, feels spongy when you press it or is hard to push, that indicates a problem with your brakes. If you hear squealing, grinding or clunking noises when you brake, that can also indicate issues. If vibrations accompany braking, then it is vital to get your brakes checked. Brakes come in two basic types. With disk brakes, a rotor is attached to the axle of the vehicle. Padded calipers straddle the rotor, which close when the brakes are applied. The resulting friction causes the rotor — and the axle — to stop turning. With drum brakes, brake pads (also called shoes) press against the inside of a drum to create friction and stop the drum, and hence the minivan’s wheels, from turning. When Yost Auto Service services your brake system, your friendly service advisor checks all of the brake pads for wear. If they are too thin, they need to be replaced. This is an inexpensive repair at Yost Auto Service compared to what procrastination will cost you. If pads wear away completely, then the rotors and drums can be damaged. They will have to be either resurfaced or replaced, and that can be expensive. But if your minivan brake pads are worn out, then your brakes are compromised and your stopping power is greatly reduced. You could easily wind up in an accident. Brake pads come in several different grades such as regular, metallic and ceramic. The higher grades are more pricey in Wichita, but they also work better. Kansas drivers who want better and smoother braking, should consider upgrading. However, Wichita drivers should NEVER use a brake pad that is lower than your automobile manufacturer’s recommendation. After you your brake pads are checked at Yost Auto Service, it’s important to have your brake fluid checked. This is a critical element in your brake system. When you press your brake pedal, you are compressing the brake fluid, creating pressure that activates the brake pads. If your fluid pressure is low, it will lessen your braking power. The pads just won’t be able to press hard enough against the rotor or drum to stop your minivan. Just as with worn pads, insufficient brake fluid can lead to a harmful and pricey accident in Wichita. Water can build up in your brake fluid, which can cause harmful corrosion in your braking system. Eventually this can cause your brake fluid to leak. So Wichita auto owners should also change their brake fluid periodically. Your minivan owner’s manual will have guidelines on how often it should be replaced or ask a friendly tech at Yost Auto Service. We have been servicing brake systems in Wichita for 30 years. Remember, Wichita folks, safety first. It’s vital auto advice for all Wichita drivers on the road. You’re not just protecting others; you’re protecting yourself.

Kako radi vaš kočioni sustav? Kad pritisnete papučicu kočnice, kočiona tekućina stvara tlak u klipovima kočnica na svakom kotaču. To prisiljava pločice kočnica da se pritisnu na obje strane kočionog diska koji se okreće zajedno s kotačima. Zbog tako nastalog trenja automobil usporava i konačno se zaustavlja. Vremenom će se pločice kočnica istrošiti i potrebno ih je zamijeniti - nastavak vožnje s istrošenim pločicama je opasan. Postoji nekoliko znakova koji ukazuju na istrošene kočione pločice: ako su nejednako istrošene to dovodi do zanošenja pri kočenju. Drugi znaci istrošenosti o kojima treba voditi računa su cviljenje i smanjenje snage kočenja.
