Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Ford F-450 brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford F-450 braking system together so it can function accurately.
• 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 Ford F-450.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford F-450 rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• 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 extremely critical to keep Ford F-450 brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ford F-450 maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford F-450 brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford F-450 brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ford F-450 maintenance schedule for more advice on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several 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 Ford F-450

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 still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still 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 still 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 evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Ford F-450 brake pads can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad desired. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a precise type of brake pad to be ordered for your Ford F-450. Contact Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake City today at 3858812581 or schedule your brake service online.

Ford F-450 Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Ford F-450 brake system. Brake fluid should be changed usually. Consult your Ford F-450 maintenance manual for data on exact mileage intervals. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance.For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Ford experts at Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake City. You can even schedule your appointment online.
