The brake system on your Nissan car, truck or SUV can be one of the most overlooked auto repair issues. Most people think that your brakes are what stops the car when you press the pedal. This is not entirely accurate, as there are multiple factors in stopping a car. The brakes actually stop the wheels from turning, and the friction from the tires on the ground stop the vehicle.
Disc brakes, which have become the most common type of brakes on Nissan vehicles, consist of five major components. Rotors (also known as brake discs, or discs), calipers, brake pads, your master cylinder and the brake lines where your fluid runs through. So how do they work? When your car wheels move, the disc spins on the axle with the wheel. The brake pads sit in the brake calipers, located on each side of the disc. When you apply pressure to your brake pedal, pressure is built up in the master cylinder and travels through your brake lines to the brake pistons on the calipers. This pushes the brake pads against the rotor, causing friction & causes the spinning of the rotor to slow down, thus, stopping the vehicle.
Proper vehicle inspections and basic maintenance like a brake flush can prevent you from having to deal with costly repairs in the future.
