Brakes

The brakes on your Ford are used to help you slow down and stop your vehicle when needed. The braking system is made of a range of parts that all work together to help bring your vehicle to a stop. These parts include things like your rotors, brake pads, and calipers. Your braking system works to convert the mechanical energy of your vehicle into friction that will help slow down the movement of your vehicle and lead to deceleration. Your braking system can wear out over time, which can put you in an unsafe position on the road. You don't want this to happen, so you should be checking the condition of these parts often and ensuring they are in good shape. You can check your brake pads to see if they are worn down too thin, for example. The rotors should be relatively free of grooves and cracks on the surface. If you find that it's taking a longer time to bring your car to a stop, this can be a sign of wear and tear on the system as well. Be sure to invest in OEM brake parts that you can get the most for your money. Find them here at Lilliston Ford.
