What are the signs and symptoms of bad Toyota brake rotors or pads?

Just like there are common brake issues, there are exceptionally apparent signs that can signify the cause of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, trouble stopping or a loud metal scraping sound are all indicators that you need to check your Toyota brakes. Nevertheless, there are many other, and less clear, indicators that your Toyota brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.

  • Your vehicle is wobbling or rocking when driving at high speeds
  • You have grinding, squeaking or squealing brakes
  • Your car doesn't stay straight when you brake, pulling in either direction
  • Your Check Engine or Brake Warning light on your dashboard comes on
  • It’s been over a year or 12,000 miles. Brake inspections should be at least once a year. (Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray offers a complimentary multi-point check every visit)

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Toyota brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Rotors again 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 Toyota
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • 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 exceptionally important to keep Toyota brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota 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 Toyota.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.

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 evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Miller Toyota Murray, we offer a multi-point examination with each service visit that includes correctly inspecting your Toyota brakes, brake pads, rotors, operation, belts, hoses and filters, among other items, not just your brake system.
