Given their size and weight, trucks rely heavily on their braking systems to ensure safety on the road. A minor issue can escalate quickly, leading to costly repairs and, more importantly, jeopardizing the safety of the driver and other road users. At Suncoast Fleet Services in Clearwater, FL, we prioritize the health of your truck's braking system, ensuring it performs optimally at all times.
Common Brake Issues in Trucks and Fleets
Worn Brake Pads and Linings
One of the most common issues we encounter is worn-out brake pads and linings. These components bear the brunt of the braking force and naturally wear out over time. If not addressed promptly, worn pads can damage the rotors, leading to more extensive repairs.
Damaged or Warped Rotors
Rotors are crucial components of the braking system. They can become warped due to excessive heat or if the brake pads have worn down too much. A warped rotor will cause vibrations when braking and reduce the system's overall efficiency.
