When it comes to heavy-duty trucks, brakes aren't just another part; they're an integral component of your vehicle's safety system. Understanding how brakes work is crucial for ensuring they perform when it matters most. Trailerfix West offers brake repairs that last.
Understanding Wheel Hubs: Drum Brake Functionality
You've probably heard of drum brakes. Drum brakes are comprised of a drum and a set of shoes. When you hit the brake pedal, these shoes push against the drum, creating friction to slow down the vehicle. With time, friction grinds on the drum, and slack adjusters account for this excess space.
Damaged slack adjusters and high levels of slack lead to reduced braking efficiency. On the flip side, seized return springs can cause the brake shoes to drag along the drum. Both scenarios could be better. Paladin’s Truck & Trailer Mobile Repair offers many components related to brake hubs. You can find the following parts and more at our shop:
- Brake lining
- Brake shoe
- Return spring
- Bake plate
- Wheel cylinder.
Airline and Air Tank
The airline and air tank and routes compressed air to your brakes. Failure here can result in reduced braking power or even complete loss of function. Moisture within the braking system must be avoided, or else corrosion and wear occur. So, regarding mobile repair and fleet services, ensure airline and dryer checks aren't overlooked. Trailerfix West offers airline and air tank components for replacement.
