Because it produces heat and friction along with the pads, it wears out over time. Thus, you must know how to maintain it to maximize its service life and prevent it from wearing out and getting damaged prematurely. Here are tips to keep your brake disc functioning efficiently:
If you notice that rust is accumulating on the surface of your brake disc, there is no need to worry because the contact of the brake pads against your disc can remove the rust. But you can also take away the rust by using a sandpaper to buff the surface of your brake disc. You can do this while the caliper is removed, which serves as the housing of the brake pads. However, if you notice that the rust on your brake disc has already accumulated in huge amounts, you must consult a professional if your brake disc needs to be repaired or replaced.
You must also take note of your driving habits in order to keep your brake disc functioning well. This is because a large amount of hat is produced and generated when the brake pads press against your brake disc. These two brake components do not have ample time to cool down especially when in constant use, so they usually fade because of the heat damage. To prevent this situation, you must give your vehicle enough time to cool down by gradually reducing your braking speed. This allows the internal vanes of your brake disc to regulate the air flow.
Keep in mind that you should not put grease or any lubricant on your disc and pads. Although some components of your braking system need lubrication, you must not forget that the friction between your brake disc and pads is what brings your vehicle to a stop. So your brakes can be damaged if you lubricate the said components. Instead, apply the brake grease or lubricant in the brake caliper. This part keeps the brake pads moving and pressing against your brake disc, so it must be lubricated properly.
Whenever you decide to step on the brakes, the brake disc of your Subaru Impreza makes contact with the calipers and brake pads to produce friction. The friction that is formed by these brake components allows your vehicle to come to a safe stop. Your Subaru Impreza brake disc also prevents heat from being trapped in your braking system to avoid overheating and damage. However, this component can be prone to wearing out and damage because of its constant function. If you are having trouble with your brakes, here are some of the indications that you may notice:
Squealing and grinding noises
If you notice that there are squealing and grinding noises in your vehicle, then your brake disc is encountering problems. These noises usually happen when the brake pads start to wear out and begin to scratch your disc while pressing against it. In addition, another cause is a warped brake disc. If the lining of the brake pads become so thin, it can cause your brake disc to have grooves or low cuts in its surface upon contact.
Vibration or pulsation
Vibration or pulsating feeling, which becomes evident when you step on your brake pedal, indicates that brake disc is possibly deformed or warped. You can test this by driving on a speed of 60 mph and applying the brakes heavily. If you feel vibration, your brake disc is absolutely warped. But if you feel the vibration or pulsation in your steering wheels, then you must check your front brake disc. However, if the pulsation reaches your seat or the brake pedal, then you must check the rear disc.
Incomplete stop and uncontrollable pulling movement
If your vehicle does not come to a complete stop when you step on the brake pedal, you must check your brake disc. Moreover, you must also inspect the disc when your vehicle pulls to one side of the road uncontrollably when you decide to come to a stop. These situations are usually caused by worn-out brake pads and possibly loose screws from the pedals. Worn -out pads will cause your brake disc to be deformed once they press against it. Thus, your brake disc will be weaker.
Yes, it possible to extend the mileage of a brake disc. Brake discs are constantly subject to frictional heat, which is why they are made from heat-resistant materials. Eventually, the disc becomes unevenly thin, and this will require turning or skimming of the disc. This procedure requires the disc to be reinstalled in the opposite manner so that the other part of the disc will be the one subjected to friction. When there is scarring or rusting on the disc, machining can be performed to eliminate the damage on the surface and restore even thickness. Once the brake disc is below the thickness recommended by the manufacturer, a replacement must be sought.
Brake squeal and brake judder are two signs to consider for a possible brake disc adjustment or replacement. Because the brake disc operates in tandem with the brake pads, wear on the disc also indicates some damage to the pads or vise versa. If the brake pads have a high iron content, they usually wear brake disc quickly. A worn brake pad with the metal indicator visible will create tremendous friction on the disc surface, which will be a reason for the fast wearing of the disc. Another problem is cold judder, which is due to uneven disc thickness or what is called disc thickness variation (DTV). Also, too much brake dust means that the brake disc is being abraded severely by the pad material. All these conditions contribute to the fast wearing of the brake pads and brake disc, but these issues can be solved by realigning the disc to its axis and by replacing both the pads and the disc.
There are two performance brake disc materials: carbon-carbon (CC) and carbon-ceramic matrix (CCM). The main difference is that CCM brake discs allow wearing of the pads and not the disc, while CC brake discs wear both the pads and the disc. Aside from being less brittle than ceramic, CC brake discs can withstand high temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius, which can even be exceeded with the application of coatings against oxidation. CCM brake discs are temperature-resistant and hard, but once the temperature reaches above 750 degrees Celsius, the carbon molecules will disintegrate into carbon dioxide, making the disc weaker and wear fast.
