Importance of Healthy Brakes

When a road trip or night out on the town is planned, you likely can’t wait to hit the road. While you’re always eager to start your adventure, bringing your Volkswagen to a complete stop is just as important. Properly working and healthy brakes are essential to safe stops.

Brake Components

The brake system of your Volkswagen is made up of several different parts:

Brake pedal: Your brake pedal is the only braking component inside your car. When you press on your brake pedal, hydraulic fluid flows through a cylinder. From there, it reaches another cylinder that squeezes your brake pad.

Brake pad: Brake pads act like a sandwich to the brake rotors. When pressing on the brake pedal, the brake pads will squeeze together and cause friction to help slow down your car.

Calipers: This piece connects the brake pads to the brake rotors.

Brake rotors: This is the final part of the brake system. Once pressure and friction are applied to the rotor, this friction helps slow down the wheel and brings you to a stop.

As you can see, there are many different components that make up your vehicle’s braking system. Each component is equally as important as the other, so maintaining good health of each component is essential.
