How much do you know about the inspection method of brake disc?

       The brake disc is simply a round plate that rotates when the car is moving. The brake caliper clips the brake disc and generates braking force, and it clips the brake disc to slow down or stop the brake when stepping on the brake. So what are the inspection methods of the brake disc? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone.

       Under normal driving conditions, every 5000 miles must check the brake pads once, not only to check the remaining thickness and shoe wear state, whether the degree of wear on both sides is the same, whether the return is free, etc., found that the abnormal situation needs to be treated immediately, remember that the brake must not wait for the friction material part to be worn out before replacement; Can travel at a speed of 30 miles/hour, hang in neutral, check the sliding distance, the general car should not be less than 150 meters. It is also necessary to check whether the handbrake of the vehicle is sensitive, to see whether there is a phenomenon of slipping, and whether the brake is abnormal.

        The thickness of the new brake pads is generally about 1.5cm, and the thickness will gradually become thinner with continuous friction in use. When the naked eye observes that the thickness of the brake pads is only about 1/3 of the original thickness, the owner should increase the self-test frequency and be ready to replace it at any time. Of course, individual models due to wheel design reasons, do not have the conditions to see the naked eye, need to remove the tire to complete.

       At the same time accompanied by the "iron rub iron" silk sound, the brake pads need to be replaced immediately. Because the limit mark on both sides of the brake pad has directly rubbed the brake disc, it proves that the brake pad has exceeded the limit. In this case, the brake pad should be replaced at the same time with the brake disc inspection, and the brake disc is often damaged when this sound occurs.

       The above is about the inspection method of the brake disc. I hope the above method can help you. If you have any questions, please contact us.
