Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Toyota Sequoia brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota Sequoia brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota Sequoia rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota Sequoia braking system together so it can function correctly.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate 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 Sequoia.
- 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 exceedingly vital to keep Toyota Sequoia brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota Sequoia maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
- Rotors still 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 find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota Sequoia
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota Sequoia brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined constantly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota Sequoia maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
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 again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again 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 again 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 uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
