Ford Edge 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 Edge brake system. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed often. Confer your Ford Edge maintenance manual for data on specific mileage intervals.For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Ford experts at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood. You can even schedule your appointment online.
Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Ford Edge brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford Edge 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 Ford Edge maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford Edge braking system together so it can function perfectly.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford Edge brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate 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 Edge.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford Edge rotors to slow or stop your car.
- Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different 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 Edge
- 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 immensely critical to keep Ford Edge brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Ford Edge maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also 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 also 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.
What are the signs and symptoms of bad Ford Edge brake rotors or pads?
Just like there are typical brake issues, there are very evident 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 Ford Edge brakes. However, there are numerous other, and less clear, indicators that your Ford Edge brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.
