SUBARU OUTBACK

BRAKE REPAIR

Subaru Outback brakes generally consist of a four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS), brake assist, and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). Brake pads, which are the friction material that contacts the brake disc, need replacement every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits. Inspecting brake pads every 12,000-15,000 miles or 12-15 months is recommended, and you might hear a squealing noise as they wear down.

Key Components and Features:

ABS:

The anti-lock braking system prevents wheels from locking up during hard braking, helping maintain steering control.

Brake Assist:

This system recognizes emergency braking situations and applies maximum braking force to help stop the vehicle quickly.

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD):

EBD works with ABS to distribute braking force to each wheel based on factors like speed, road conditions, and weight distribution for optimal stopping power.

Brake Pads:

These are the friction material that contacts the brake rotors to slow the vehicle. They wear down over time and need replacement.

Brake Rotors:

These are the discs that the brake pads clamp onto.

Braking Hardware:

This includes the brake lines, calipers, and other components that transmit the force from the brake pedal to the brake pads.

Maintenance and Replacement:

Brake Pad Replacement:

As the brake pads wear down, they may make a squealing noise as a wear indicator. A typical range for brake pad replacement is 30,000 to 70,000 miles, but this can vary.

Inspection:

Subaru recommends inspecting brake pads every 12,000-15,000 miles or 12-15 months.

Other Hardware:

Other components of the braking system may need replacement or service over time, depending on wear and driving conditions.
