Every time you put your foot on your brake pedal, your safety depends on a properly functioning brake system. ACDelco DuraStop brake pads are all D3EA certified and meet or exceed your vehicles manufacturer recommended specifications. Lesser expensive brake pads use flashy phrases like "lifetime warranty" to convince consumers to use there products; however, the real truth is only one sudden stop away. Brake pads are designed to transfer the energy of movement into the energy of heat which is dissipated by the brake rotor. Brake pads are designed to wear ( reduce) the friction material with each stop. Lesser expensive brake pads may look the same, but the real difference is only evident when you need your brakes the most. Quality ACDelco DuraStop brake pads have shorter stopping distances and resist failure due to heat fading. In a sudden stop, lesser expensive brake pads have longer stopping distances and may allow the brake pedal to fade as the braking system overheats. Why risk your safety with a lesser quality brake pad or shoe? Schedule your brake service today and allow Precision Tech Automotive to install quality ACDelco DuraStop brake pads.

Brake System

	Braking System *ACDelco* DuraStop friction is D3EA certified.

	The brake system is actually composed of two systems---Hydraulic and Friction. Here is what happens within these systems between the time your foot hits the brake pedal and your car stops.

1 2 3 4	Hydraulics Master Cylinder When pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the master cylinder creates hydraulic pressure which pushes brake fluid to the wheel brakes. Brake Lines and Hoses Steel brake lines and high-pressure rubber hoses are the avenues through which the pressurized brake fluid travels. Wheel Cylinders and Calipers These are the hydraulic cylinders that apply pressure to the friction materials, causing your car to stop. Friction Materials Disc Brake Pads and Drum Brake Shoes These brake linings are composed of high temperature materials that create the friction that stops your car. Types of Brakes Disc Brakes Disc brakes consist of a Disc Brake Rotor, which is attached to the wheel, and a Caliper, which holds the Disc Brake Pads. Hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder causes the Caliper Piston to clamp the Disc Brake Rotor between the Disc Brake Pads. This creates friction between the pads and rotor, causing your car to slow down or stop. Drum Brakes Drum brakes consist of a Brake Drum attached to the wheel, a Wheel Cylinder, Brake Shoes and Brake Return Springs. Hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder causes the Wheel Cylinder to press the Brake Shoes against the Brake Drum. This creates friction between the shoes and drum to slow or stop your car. Parking Brake The Parking Brake uses Cables to mechanically apply the brakes (usually the rear brake.) This is used to prevent the car from rolling when not being driven. Anti-Lock Brakes: A System Built For Safety Computer-controlled anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are a recently developed safety feature. When sudden stops are made, the ABS prevents wheel lock-up. The system is comprised of wheel-speed sensors that monitor wheel rotation, computer-controlled hydraulics that pulse the brakes on and off rapidly, and the on-board computer.
