Search for Brake discs rear and front:

The safety of the driver and passengers depends primarily on the braking system. If you notice the slightest malfunction in this mechanism, then better give up on the trip, because this can lead to dreadful consequences. The entire brake system consists of pads and discs, which are equally important for the entire mechanism.

The most common car braking systems are considered the disc brakes. This means that the main element of this type of brake is a brake disk, because the force of the actuator is applied to it. Car brakes produce frictions as the main principle of action, therefore, between the disc and brake mechanism is located a block. When braking, the kinetic energy is converted into heat. That is exactly what the brake discs and pads are responsible for.

The work efficiency of the whole system depends on the distribution speed of the resulting heat. And itgets sometimes very hot. The overheating of the brake disc leads immediately to the deformation of the metal, causing the brake failure on the road. In order to avoid such consequences, it is best to take care in advance of the quality and reliability of the brake system in your car, namely, to choose the "right" discs. But it is not so simple, and the driver may have difficulties in selecting discs currently offered in the global market. Of course, the purchased items must be original, since these parts undergo strict quality control and can last for a long time.

Today you can buy original brake mechanism disks in our online store; they are of high quality and at an acceptable cost. You can also order from us other parts such as brake drum or brake pads.

All you should know about brake discs replacement: service life, common defects and their signs, tips and recommendations

Brake discs manufacturers specify their minimum permissible thickness on the parts edge. On reaching it, components are to be replaced. Usually it happens after 80 000 - 120 000 operational kilometers for the front axle discs, and 130 000 - 170 000 operational kilometers for the rear axle discs. In comparison with the rear discs, the front brake discs are more apt to wear out because they suffer more loads during braking. Moreover, sports - drilled or slotted brake discs can also get out of order earlier.

In some cases the components should be replaced even if their thickness is more than critical. As a rule, such necessity is dependent on uneven disc wear, its deformation or cracking, appearance of shears and grooves on the surface, formation of special protrusion on the outer edge.

Screeching, creaking, vibration and beating of discs during braking point at discs defects. You can also feel loosening of the brake pedal. Moreover, if you noticed that the braking mechanism is jamming at brake pedal pressing or the car is pulled aside during emergency braking, then you must perform immediate components inspection.

The brake discs are to be checked according to schedule during every car general inspection and at pads replacement. Mechanical damages, deformation, change of the surface color point at replacement necessity. Special equipment - the dial indicator and the beam caliper - are necessary for measuring value of wobbling and residual thickness of the components. Take into account that the ventilated brake discs have more thickness than non-ventilated ones which is dependent on their construction. After having performed measurements compare data you got with values specified in car technical documentation.

For brake discs replacement remove the wheel, unscrew caliper bracket bolts and fix the caliper itself with the help of improvised tools. Remove the pads if needed and then unscrew disc fixations and demount it. When replacing components on the rear axle deactivate the parking brake and loosen its pads otherwise disc removal will be impossible. After installation of a new part, assemble the unit in the reversed order.

Components are to be replaced in pairs on every axle. That is why it is desirable to buy the brake discs kit - so you will be able to save money. Brake pads are to be replaced during new discs installation.
