Importance of Brakes Box System in Car

Brake boxes play a vital role in the smooth running of a car. The brake box, which is the main part of the brake system, depends on a few components, which are: brake liquid, brake pedal, brake calipers, wheel cylinders, etc. There are primarily two types of braking systems. 

The Brake Types

Brake types include disc brake system, and drum brake system. The disc brake system consists of disc brake pads, rotor, wheel bearings, disc assembly, caliper assembly, etc. In this system, hoses, tubes and valves connect the calipers to the master cylinder, and the brake fluid passes through this connection. 

Another type is drum brake system which comprises backing plate and drum, brake shoes, wheel bearings, axle assembly, wheel cylinder. In this braking system the master cylinder and the wheel cylinder are connected together through hoses, valves and tubes through which the brake fluid passes. 

These are the types of braking systems that play an important role in a vehicle.  Apart from this, there are two important components which needs attentions. They are the brake fluid and the brake pedal. 

#1. The Brake Fluid

It is the component which is used in the brake pedal, which basically transfers force into pressure and is passed through the all the components of the brake box system to the engine to stop the car from running. It is the fluid, which builds the pressure with its hydraulic system. 

#2. The Brake Pedals

The brake pedal is a stable surface that support your feet, and are pressed by feet to apply brakes partially or fully. It is one of the very important parts of the brake box, which comes in direct contact with the automobile driver, and works as per its condition and how a user maintains it. 

#3. The Brake Box

These are all the important components that the brakes box consists of. The brake box plays a vital part in a car, and the safety of an automobile totally depends on this element. Any problem with any component of the brake box can be fatal, and can cause serious problems and even an accident as well. To ensure the safety of a car, driver and passenger, longevity of the components, it is recommended to get it checked at regular intervals from a reputed service provider. 

Come Brakes Box Trouble Signals

Here are some signals to indicate that when there is a problem with the brake box, and they are as follows: 

• Noisy brakes, especially when there is a grinding or scraping sound
• If the copper content in brake fluid after testing is present more than 200ppm
• When a brake pedal has a soft and spongy feel to it
• When you apply brakes, the car pulls to one side
• If the level of brake fluid is low in master cylinder after testing
• The indicator lamp of brake system is on 

In all these situations, one or more components of the brake system may need a check or repair. If the copper content in brake fluid is high, fluid will have to be changed. If the brake pedal is soft, it will have to be changed. And similarly, all such things that are different from usual need to be checked and changed when screeching noises and troubles accompany the running of the car while braking. 

Conclusion

Brakes box checking can be done at any service station. But an extensive check is normally not done along with routine vehicle checkups. For this, you will have to contact with a service station which claims to be expert in brake box treatments.
