Brake system

The chassis of a car is a complex of mechanisms that includes the control system, suspension, brakes, steering and wheels. It provides stability, controllability and safety of the car. When is a Vehicle Diagnostic Needed? To find out the exact cause of malfunctions of the chassis, it is imperative to carry out diagnostics of the chassis. This diagnosis is recommended for the following symptoms: The presence of hum, knocking, other extraneous sounds when driving. In this case, you should count on the need to repair individual elements of the chassis suspension. The appearance of vibrations Instability in motion Tire wear problems When turning, the car noticeably pulls in one direction. In this case, most likely, repair of the suspension stabilization system is required. A noticeable increase in braking distance and other unpleasant symptoms when driving a car. It is also important to understand that the absence of the above symptoms does not guarantee the absence of problems with the chassis of the car. It is important to have your undercarriage diagnosed regularly as a preventative measure to prevent serious problems with your machine. How often should a diagnosis be made? We recommend that you consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and conditionally divide this period by 2. Why? The fact is that all maintenance standards are averaged, which do not provide for the operation of a car when driving on domestic roads or driving on dirt roads. This is especially important to consider if you are the owner of a foreign car. The best time to check the chassis is 2 times a year. For example, diagnostics can be carried out together with the replacement of winter and summer tires. The second way is to focus on mileage. The mileage intervals are indicated in the service book of your car: 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 km (depending on the model). That is, for example, in your service book it is indicated that the suspension is checked every 10,000 km, and taking into account our roads, this is about 5,000 km. It is also recommended to carry out diagnostics of the chassis after an emergency collision or replacement of any elements. Regular diagnostics allows you to detect problems at an early stage and prevent serious consequences. How to Diagnose the Chassis of a Car on Your Own Many are interested in whether it is possible to diagnose yourself ?! You can diagnose the undercarriage of a car yourself using basic tools such as a jack, screwdrivers and wrenches. But there are clear rules and sequence of such diagnostics, so: Before starting the diagnosis, make sure that the car is on a level surface and that no elements are moving or are in motion. Then check the condition of the tires for cuts, punctures or abrasions. Check the brake discs and pads for wear and the suspension arms for condition. Also check the tie rod and steering arms for wear and correct installation. Important! It should be noted that this do-it-yourself diagnostic should be carried out only if you have a high knowledge of auto mechanisms, as well as if you have experience working at service stations. In other cases, it is better to contact a specialized car service. How is computer diagnostics of the running gear of a car carried out for a hundred and why is it more effective? Computer diagnostics of the chassis of the car is carried out using specialized equipment and software. This diagnostic allows you to identify hidden problems and errors in electronic control systems. Computer diagnostics can also help identify faults that cannot be detected manually. The cost of computer diagnostics may vary depending on the location, brand of car and the level of complexity of the problem. To search for a service station specializing in the diagnosis of the running gear of a car, it is recommended to refer to the reviews and recommendations of other car owners. You can also contact your car brand dealer or professional service stations. To sign up for running gear diagnostics in the service station, call: 097 299 29 95

The braking system is one of the most important systems in a car, as it ensures the safety of the driver and passengers on the road. It is important to know the rules of daily diagnostics of the brake system in order to detect malfunctions in time and avoid accidents. Rules for the daily diagnosis of the brake system of a car The brakes of the car should be checked before every ride. To do this, press the brake pedal and check how easily it is pressed. If the brake pedal is too soft, there may be a problem with the braking system. It is also necessary to check the level of brake fluid in the expansion tank. If there is noise or vibration when you press the brake pedal, this may indicate worn brake pads or discs. In this case, it is necessary to contact specialists for diagnostics and repair of the brake system.

Every driver should be aware that the braking system is an integral part of the car, on which the safety on the road depends. Understanding the causes and symptoms of brake failures can save you from potential accidents and keep this critical system running smoothly. Brake Pad Wear: Pads are the heart of the brake system and are subject to wear and tear from daily use. Signs of wear may include squeaking, creaking or increased braking distance. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn pads are essential for effective braking. Wear on brake discs and drums: Brake discs and drums are also subject to wear and require attention. Excessive braking vibration or unusual noises may require service or replacement of discs and drums. Leaks in the hydraulic line: The hydraulic line carries brake fluid from the brake pedal to the brakes. Leaks in the system can cause loss of pressure and reduced braking performance. If you notice a brake fluid leak under the vehicle or notice a decrease in braking performance, contact a specialist for diagnosis and repair. Worn and jammed caliper guides, misaligned brake cylinder: The caliper guides that the pads travel on can wear or get stuck, causing uneven braking and vibration. A misaligned brake cylinder can also cause problems with the brake system. Deformation of the brake discs: Intense heating and cooling of the brake discs can cause them to deform. Warped discs lead to vibration and inefficient braking. If you notice vibration when braking, see a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem. Poor deceleration: If your vehicle is slow to decelerate or you need more stopping distance, it could be due to worn brake pads or problems with the braking system. Do not ignore these signs, and contact professionals for inspection and repair. Smoke and burning smell from the brakes: If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the brakes, this may indicate overheating or worn pads. This situation requires urgent intervention and replacement of worn parts. Dashboard Fault Light: If a light on the dashboard illuminates indicating a problem with the brake system, contact your mechanic immediately to diagnose and fix the problem. Broken or kinked brake hoses: The brake hoses that connect the various components of the brake system can be worn or damaged. Broken or kinked hoses can cause brake fluid leakage and insufficient braking. Checking the hoses regularly and replacing them if necessary are important safety precautions. Parking brake lever not released: Improper setting of the parking brake can lead to a dangerous situation, especially on a slope. Make sure the parking brake lever is fully released to prevent accidental vehicle movement. Properly understanding the causes and symptoms of brake problems will help you be a more informed and responsible driver. Regular inspection and maintenance of the brake system will keep it in working order and ensure the safety of your trips. Remember that if you have any doubts or problems with your brakes, always contact a qualified technician.
