How to deal with the appearance of grooves in the brake disc


Only the front or only the rear brake disc has grooves due to driving habits and uneven distribution of front and rear brake forces. If only one brake disc has grooves and the others are normal, this situation is usually caused by materials or external forces, then how do we deal with the grooves in the brake disc?

If the brake pads have reached their service life, there will be a small metal protrusion at both ends of the brake pads, about 2~3mm. This thickness is actually the limited wear thickness of our brake pads, that is, when the brake pads are worn to this thickness, The brake pads will be replaced, and at this time, the small metal protrusions at both ends of the brake pads have begun to wear and rotate the brake discs with the vehicle, which will also wear the brake discs.

The groove of the brake disc may be caused by the following reasons:

1. The brake pads are hard, or the brake pads are severely worn, and the exposed metal of the brake pads directly rub against the brake disc. And there should be a harsh sound at this time

2. There are sand grains and metal objects between the brake pad and the disc, causing grooves to be formed after friction between the two

3. Brake bite, disc and sheet contact for a long time to build the rear groove.

4. The brake disc is normally worn. The maximum wear limit of the brake disc is 2mm. It is necessary to replace the new brake disc after the limit is applied.

The consequence of not dealing with it in time is that the groove of the brake disc will become deeper and deeper, so that in severe cases, the brake will be weak and the friction will be uneven. The brakes are shaking, and the brakes are scratching, causing the braking force to drop.

Some friends just because they did not deal with it in time, causing the groove to get deeper and deeper, and only the brake disc can be polished when it is processed. It is not recommended to polish the brake disc when it is not necessary. The consequence of polishing several times is that the braking force is directly unbalanced, which is very dangerous.

What should I do if the car brake disc is rusty due to rainy days or long-term suspension

The material of the brake disc is mostly cast iron, and it has been exposed for a long time, and the working environment is relatively evil, and it is often tested by ice and fire. If the vehicle is parked for a long time or in a humid environment, some rust will be generated on the surface of the brake disc, and these rust will more or less affect the normal operation of the brake system, so it is necessary for us to consciously clean it up. Please follow the editor to understand what to do if the car brake disc is rusty in rainy days or long-term suspension.

The difference between disc brakes and drum brakes

Disc brakes and drum brakes are two commonly used types of vehicles. The so-called drum brakes are composed of devices that rotate, fix, actuate, and adjust positioning. Among them, it is composed of small parts such as bottom plate, sub-pump, shoe and so on. There are usually also connecting rods, springs, studs, brake drums, etc. Today's drum brakes are generally more common in rear-wheel drive cars.
