GMC Suburbans typically utilize a disc brake system on all four wheels. Key components include brake pads that press against rotors, slowing the vehicle, and calipers that apply pressure to the pads. The braking system converts kinetic energy into heat via friction to stop the vehicle.

These are friction materials that press against the rotors to slow the vehicle down.
These are discs that rotate with the wheels and the brake pads press against them.
These are hydraulic clamps that hold the brake pads and press them against the rotor.
This system uses brake fluid to transmit the force from the brake pedal to the calipers, applying the brakes.
Disc brakes offer superior heat dissipation and consistent braking performance, making them ideal for most modern vehicles.
While less common on modern vehicles, drum brakes may be found on the rear wheels of some older or specific models.
