Taking the brake system as an example of a car part, it is necessary to know when it is not functioning well so that immediate course of action can be done to further prevent severe wear and tear and most importantly, to instill car safety.Squeaking is the noise produced when there is friction from the linings of the brakes. This can eventually damage the pads, linings, brake drums and rotors under intensive conditions.
This symptom is felt when the brakes need to be pumped to stop the car, or when the pedal sinks to the board of the floor when you are stopped while car lights are on.
When you feel like being pulled to one side, it means you either have a damaged brake line, or worn or uneven brake linings. And when you feel a brake drag, it goes to show that your brakes are not properly adjusted or they contain contaminated fluid.
Fading of low brake pedal is also a symptom of a failed brake system. This can either be a result of any of these instances: there is a leak in the system; air has entered in to the brake linings; or there is a need to adjust the brake.Say, the master cylinder. It is called the "heart of the brake system". It has a reservoir for brake fluid. Located on the fire wall, it should be inspected regularly to assure fluid at the right level.
Attached to the cylinder master are the brake lines. The steel brake tubing is transcended to all the wheel of your vehicle. Rusts are the worst enemies of the brake lines. To avoid these and leaks, regularly inspect the linings. Replacement is the best course of action in case of damages.
Running from the brake lines to the brake calipers as well as to the wheel cylinders are rubber brake hoses. It is advised to avoid their exposure to dirt, road grime, salt and other elements. These can make the rubber to become brittle and can produce crack. This will then lead to a failure in the brake system.
