The main task of the braking system of a truck is to provide braking or deceleration of the vehicle. With proper maintenance and operation, most of the elements of the system can work for a long time. An exception is the wear part of the brake pads. Drum brake pads wear out more slowly than disc brakes, as the level of wear is lower and they do not experience thermal shock.
The owner of Mercedes Benz Actros turned to the AWHelp24 car service. His car began to experience the following signs of brake pad failure:
-vibration and noise during braking;
-drive the truck to the side when braking;
- uneven wear of linings;
-squeak of brakes;
-heating drums;
- excessively light brake pedal travel.
The mechanics of the help desk suggested the following procedure for performing repair work:
- remove the wheels;
- remove the drum (or support);
- to inspect the pads and diagnose brake drums and discs;
-replace the pads;
-adjust the brake system;
- reassemble the assembly.
However, during the execution of the work, it turned out that the brake caliper must also be replaced. Modern disc brakes are a brake disc and a caliper that holds the brake pads. It is the caliper that is responsible for compressing the pads on the brake disc. And, since the caliper is an executive mechanism, its wear is just a matter of time. The duration of the normal operation of this unit is directly affected by the intensity of the use of the vehicle and the amount of cargo transported by it.
AWHelp24 service specialists identify the following main types of malfunctions, failures and deterioration of the brake caliper:
- damage to the guides that are responsible for moving the caliper
- dirt trapped in the brake assembly can make it difficult or even jam the movement of the caliper or brake pads
-mechanical damage to the caliper
- jamming of the adjusting mechanism
- breakage of the drive chain in the caliper mechanism
In this case, the adjusting mechanism jammed and it was decided to replace the caliper. The necessary spare part was provided by the AWHelp24 service manager by finding it in the online store partsbit.de
