Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Toyota Mirai 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 initiate the parking brake of your Toyota Mirai.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota Mirai brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota Mirai brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota Mirai maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely critical to keep Toyota Mirai brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota Mirai maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota Mirai rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota Mirai braking system together so it can function properly.
- Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Stevinson Toyota West find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota Mirai
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 still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate 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 equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?
Toyota Mirai rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of other factors. Usually you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Toyota Mirai as they tend to wear out quicker. Schedule an appointment online with Stevinson Toyota West to get a free multipoint inspection on your complete brake system.
