Brake & Clutch
Brisbane Brake and Clutch Servicing
With more horsepower being delivered at the wheels of the vehicle in modern cars the demands on the vehicles braking and drive systems have increased dramatically.
In 2000 asbestos was removed from all braking systems and was basically replaced with various compounds ranging from semi metallic to organic compounds.
This has meant that brake systems often run hotter than previously which has changed the way brakes are serviced.
In many cases to increase efficiency, vehicles have been fitted with softer brake rotors and harder compound brake pads.
