The braking system in your vehicle is an essential part of your driving experience. Some don't release that the brakes are a part of a system; that system includes the power brake booster. The job of the power brake booster is to give power assistance to the actual braking system. When this is in place correctly you don't have to put a lot of force on the brakes for them to engage as they should. Found between the master cylinder and the brake pedal, you never want your power brake booster to fail on you. There are some symptoms that you can look for should this ever begin to happen to you. Your vehicle's brake booster is an essential part of the braking system. You want to make sure you're looking for the following symptoms to know if your power brake booster is beginning to fail. Difficulty Braking One of the very first indications that your brake booster is failing that you may notice can be having difficulty pushing in your brake pedal. This is something that yo ... read more

Brake rotors are large circular disks connected behind each wheel of your vehicle. They bring the wheels to a stop every time the vehicle's brake calipers clamp down on them. For effective braking, rotors are designed to quickly dissipate the heat generated from your brake pads. When new, they are smooth and even facilitating smooth braking results. Continuous grinding of the pads against the rotors subjects them to wear and tear. Eventually, they become warped, losing their evenly smooth surface. Besides, the high amount of heat build-up allows the wearing off of the rotor surface by the brake pad generating rough patches and an uneven metal density. Can Sudden Breaking Cause Brake Rotors to Warp? Sometimes when you are driving around, you might have to suddenly break from a high speed. Unfortunately, the resultant friction can generate too much heat, which might cause the rotors to warp. Similarly, when driving down a hill, you might have to overuse your brakes, pressing them ... read more
