BRAKE REPAIR

Infiniti I series vehicles utilize a disc brake system on all four wheels, employing brake pads that press against rotors to slow the vehicle. Regular maintenance, such as brake pad and rotor replacement, is essential for optimal braking performance and safety.

Key Components and Maintenance:

Brake Pads:

These are made of friction material that wears down over time as they press against the rotors.

Brake Rotors:

These are the metal discs that the brake pads clamp onto to slow the vehicle down.

Brake Calipers:

These house the brake pads and apply pressure to the rotors.

Brake Fluid:

This hydraulic fluid transmits the force from the brake pedal to the calipers. It should be flushed periodically to remove contaminants and maintain proper braking performance.

Brake Lines:

These carry the brake fluid from the master cylinder to the calipers.

Common Issues and Solutions:

Worn Brake Pads:

Squealing or grinding noises when braking, or a soft brake pedal, can indicate worn brake pads. Replacement is typically needed every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, but can vary.

Worn Brake Rotors:

Vibration or pulsing in the brake pedal can indicate warped or worn rotors. Replacement is generally needed less frequently than brake pads, often every 30,000 to 80,000 miles.

Brake Fluid Contamination:

A mushy brake pedal or reduced braking power can indicate contaminated brake fluid. A brake fluid flush is recommended every 20,000 miles.

Caliper Issues:

If the vehicle pulls to one side while braking or if the brake pads wear unevenly, the calipers may be faulty.
