Information
How do disc brakes work?
Disc brakes slows or stops the rotation of a vehicle’s wheels. When the vehicle is stopped, friction generated by the brake pads and the disc converts kinetic energy to heat. The friction forces the wheels to stop.
When do disc brakes need to be repaired?
If discs are damaged with warping, scarring, cracking, or excessive rusting, they may need to be replaced. If the problem doesn’t prevent a safety issue, and if the problem isn’t severe, they may be able to be repaired. Sometimes brake disc skimming can be performed, which cleans off minor damage, but may cost as much as new discs. Also, other problems like uneven disc wear, worn out and squeaky brake pads, or sticking caliphers need to be considered.
What are my options?
The vehicle can either be taken to a local repair shop, or a skilled owner may be able to repair disc brakes. There are automotive websites that advertise repair services, while others sell disc brakes and parts online. Some online vendors sell service manuals or other how-to books.
