Regular servicing of the braking system

Security that cannot be postponed

Regular braking system servicing is crucial in truck operation. It's recommended to periodically service brake discs and brake pads , as these components are subject to natural wear and tear, and their performance directly impacts braking performance.

Symptoms that should prompt you to check the condition of the system:

  • noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel when braking
  • disturbing sounds (squeaks, grinding)
  • extended braking distance
  • overheating of the vehicle's disc and wheel

An important aspect of replacing brake pads is replacing the wear sensors and inspecting the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Common caliper failures include:

  • seized caliper guides
  • blocked pistons
  • damage to the self-regulation mechanism
  • cracks in the clamp yoke


Instead of attempting to repair a damaged caliper yourself, it's advisable to replace it with a professionally reconditioned caliper . After undergoing specialized technological processes, these calipers regain their full performance parameters and meet the requirements of the transportation industry. Such a replacement also significantly reduces the high cost of replacing a new caliper.

Regular servicing of the braking system helps reduce the risk of failure, reduce the costs of unplanned downtime and ensure a high level of safety, and should therefore be a permanent element of professional truck fleet management.
