At Meta Mechanics, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional repair and maintenance services for luxury vehicles like the Range Rover Sport. Recently, we completed a rear brake pad replacement for a client in Dubai. During the inspection, we discovered several issues that were affecting the braking system’s performance. Below, we outline the key problems found and the solutions we provided to ensure the rear braking system is restored to optimal condition.
Rear Brake Pad Issues Found & Solutions
- Worn Rear Brake Pads
Problem: The rear brake pads were extensively worn, leading to reduced braking efficiency and longer stopping distances, posing a safety risk.
Solution: We replaced the worn rear brake pads with high-quality OEM replacements to restore effective braking performance and ensure safe driving conditions. - Uneven Brake Pad Wear
Problem: The rear brake pads showed signs of uneven wear, likely caused by misalignment or brake caliper issues, leading to reduced braking effectiveness.
Solution: We addressed the misalignment and recalibrated the brake system, then installed new pads to ensure even wear and consistent braking performance. - Damaged Brake Rotors
Problem: The rear brake rotors had developed grooves and scoring, which can cause noise, vibration, and a decline in braking performance.
Solution: We resurfaced the rear brake rotors to eliminate grooves and restore a smooth surface, ensuring optimal contact with the new pads and improving overall braking efficiency. - Brake Fluid Contamination
Problem: The brake fluid was found to be contaminated, which can affect the performance of the rear brakes and increase the wear on the new pads.
Solution: We flushed and replaced the contaminated brake fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid to ensure the braking system performs optimally and to extend the life of the brake components. - Sticking Brake Calipers
Problem: The brake calipers in the rear were found to be sticking, resulting in uneven braking pressure and premature pad wear.
Solution: We serviced or replaced the sticking brake calipers, restoring their proper function and ensuring even pressure distribution across the new brake pads.
