While there are many safety features integrated into the design of your vehicle, none is more important than your braking system. This complex system has many individual parts that work in harmony. A failure of any one of these will cause trouble for the whole system.
Most vehicles have disc brakes on at least some of their wheels. Made of a composite of substances that can handle the intense heat caused by friction as they clamp down to stop your wheels from spinning, they wear down over time and need replacing. How often will depend on your unique circumstances, but usually every 40,000 miles or so.
Your brake rotors are the spinning metal discs the pads clamp onto to stop your vehicle. Their longevity varies according to how often you use your brakes but will typically need replacing every 35,000 miles.
Your calipers hold the brake pads and allow them to squeeze the rotors. Brake calipers usually have a long lifespan, needing replacement every seven to 10 years.
Your brake lines are a hydraulic system that uses brake fluid to operate the brake calipers. They run from the brake pedal throughout your braking system and occasionally need their fluid flushed and replaced, usually every 30,000 miles. Air bubbles in your line can affect performance and are removed through a procedure known as bleeding your brakes.
