Brake Disc?

Your car's Brake Disc, also known as a disk brake, works a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. A squeezing motion is used to generate friction, which slows the bicycle or vehicle down to a stop. But unlike a bicycle's brakes which have calipers forcing brake pads against the bicycle's wheels, a car's braking system has its brake pads squeezing the brake disk. The disk brake in turn, uses the friction generated in this action to force your vehicle to slow down or come to a full stop depending on how hard you depress on your brake pedal.

As your vehicle accelerates, it generates kinetic energy. Your brakes will have to dissipate this energy from your wheels to stop vehicle motion. To stop your car, your brakes convert this kinetic energy into heat by generating friction between your Brake Disc and brake pads. That same heat, which your disk brakes struggle to convert, is the same heat which causes wear on your braking system after years of use. To avoid accidents caused by braking failure, you need to make sure your disk brake and brake pads stay in top shape. Inspect these components twice a year by peeping through the spaces on your wheel for a quick assessment. For a better view, remove the wheel completely for a more thorough assessment of your Brake Disc's condition.

You should see to it that the disc remains shiny from the inside until its outer edge. Slight lines on the disc shows normal wear. However, if you see that the Brake Disc has rough spots or even conspicuous grooves on it, then your brake pads will surely have a hard time squeezing this disc firmly. To prevent your braking system from breaking down completely, your best bet is to replace your disk brake as soon as possible.
