How often should the brake discs on a Corolla be replaced?
1 Answers
The Corolla's brake discs do not have a fixed replacement interval. They should be inspected during every major maintenance service and replaced only when they reach or approach the wear limit. A brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force, slowing down or stopping the vehicle when the brakes are applied. The advantages of brake discs are as follows: 1. Continuous braking is less likely to cause brake fade or failure. 2. The change in size of the brake disc due to heat does not increase the travel distance of the brake pedal. 3. Disc brake systems respond quickly, allowing for high-frequency braking, which better meets the requirements of ABS systems. 4. Disc brakes provide more balanced braking force between the left and right wheels. 5. The superior drainage of brake discs reduces the likelihood of poor braking performance caused by water or mud. 6. Simple construction and easy maintenance.
