How Often Should Truck Brakes Be Replaced?
Truck brake pads and shoes typically last between 30,000-35,000 miles in urban use. However, if you drive on highways with light traffic, they can endure up to 80,000 miles or more. Regular monitoring of your brake system and adherence to manufacturer recommendations are crucial in determining the optimal replacement intervals.
How Do I Know If I Need New Brakes?
If you're wondering when to replace brake pads or rotors, listen for a grinding sound when applying the brakes. A grinding noise indicates significant wear and suggests it's time for a brake system inspection. Addressing these issues can prevent further damage and ensure your brakes function effectively, enhancing vehicle safety.
Brake Repairs and Services
- Brake Pad Replacement: Over time, brake pads wear down due to friction and must be replaced to maintain optimal braking performance.
- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement: Resurfacing or replacing rotors is essential to ensure even brake pad wear and efficient braking, preventing issues like vibration and reduced stopping power.
- Brake Drum Machining or Replacement: In vehicles with drum brakes, the brake drums can wear out or become damaged over time. Machining or replacing the brake drums restores their functionality and ensures the brake shoes can operate effectively.
- Brake System Inspection and Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance of the entire brake system, including hoses, springs, and other components, are essential to identify potential issues early.
