GM Brakes

Being able to make a stop at a moment's notice is something you're able to do thanks to the complicated braking system under the hood of your GM vehicle. There are various components that work together as a part of this system, including calipers, brake pads, shoes, and rotors. These parts can all experience wear and tear in different ways and tend to have their own unique lifespans. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake pads work to tighten against your rotors and help with the process of getting the wheels to slow down. Large amounts of heat and friction are generated during the stopping process - which your brake parts are built to handle. However, like any other part in your car, the brake components are going to wear out at some point. It's really important to pay attention to the condition of your brakes so that you can make replacements to parts as needed and stay safe on the road. One thing to try to pay attention to is if there are any wobbling or vibrations when you press on the brake pedal. Soft or spongy feeling brake pedals are something that can be a sign of brake problems as well. Find OEM brake parts for your GM vehicle here on our site.
