Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Honda brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to activate the parking brake of your Honda.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Honda braking system together so it can function properly.
  • Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Deland Honda find the finest type of brake rotors for your Honda
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Honda brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road at all times.
  • Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely vital to keep Honda brake pads fresh by replacing them as the undergo quite some of stress every time they are used. Check your Honda maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your Honda brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected usually for cracks and alternative symptoms of deterioration. Check your Honda maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Honda rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

What are the signs and symptoms of bad Honda brake rotors or pads?

Just like there are common brake issues, there are very noticeable signs that can indicate the cause of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, trouble stopping or a loud metal scraping sound are all indicators that you need to check your Honda brakes. However, there are many other, and less obvious, indicators that your Honda brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.
