As an important part of heavy-duty trucks, the performance of brake pads plays a vital role in the safe driving of the vehicle. However, due to long-term use and wear, brake pads may malfunction, affecting the braking effect.
1.Poor braking: Poor braking is a common sign of brake pad failure. The reasons may be due to severe wear of the brake pads, oil pollution, uneven surface of the brake disc, etc.
2.Brake squeak: Squeak brake noise is another manifestation of brake pad failure. The reasons for this may be uneven wear of the brake pads, uneven surface of the brake discs, incorrect installation of the brake pads, etc.
3.Brake Shake: Brake shake is another manifestation of brake pad failure. The reasons for this may be uneven wear of the brake pads, uneven surface of the brake disc, improper adjustment of the brake system, etc.
1.Check brake pad wear: If the brakes are not working well, the first thing you should do is check the wear of the brake pads. If the wear is severe, the brake pads should be replaced in time.
2.Clean the brake system: If the poor braking effect is due to oil contamination, you can clean the brake system, including the surface of the brake disc and brake pads.
3.Check the surface of the brake disc: If the poor braking effect is caused by the uneven surface of the brake disc, you can check the surface condition of the brake disc, if there is obvious damage or unevenness, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
4.Adjust the brake system: If the brake noise or jitter is caused by improper adjustment of the brake system, it can be adjusted. For example, adjust the contact area between the brake pad and the brake disc, adjust the preload of the brake system, etc.
5.Regular maintenance of the vehicle: In addition to solving brake pad failures, the entire braking system should also be serviced regularly. Regularly checking the level and quality of the brake fluid, and cleaning the pipes and components of the brake system, can keep the entire brake system in good condition and reduce the possibility of failure.
Brake pad failure can affect the braking effect and safety of the vehicle, so it is very important to troubleshoot the fault in time. By checking brake pad wear, cleaning the brake system, inspecting the brake disc surface, adjusting the brake system, and regularly maintaining the vehicle, brake pad failures can be effectively solved and the vehicle performance is excellent. Only by maintaining good braking performance can we ensure driving safety and economy, so that our heavy-duty trucks can always maintain excellent performance.
