At Meta Mechanics, we understand the importance of a fully functional braking system for the safety and performance of your vehicle. Recently, we completed a front brake pad replacement for a Range Rover HST in Dubai. During the process, we identified several key issues affecting the vehicle’s braking efficiency. Here are the problems found and the solutions we provided:
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Worn Brake Pads: The front brake pads were extensively worn, which was significantly reducing their stopping power and causing longer braking distances. This was a safety concern, especially at higher speeds.
Solution:
We replaced the worn brake pads with high-quality, OEM-grade replacements, restoring optimal braking performance and ensuring the safety of the vehicle on the road. - Brake Pad Vibration: The old brake pads were causing vibrations and noises during braking, which indicated uneven wear and potential issues with the brake calipers or rotors.
Solution:
After replacing the brake pads, we thoroughly inspected and cleaned the brake rotors and calipers to eliminate the source of the vibrations, ensuring smooth and quiet braking. - Corroded Brake Calipers: We noticed signs of corrosion on the front brake calipers, which can affect their performance and lead to uneven brake pad wear.
Solution:
We cleaned and serviced the corroded brake calipers, ensuring proper functionality and alignment. This prevents uneven wear and ensures that the new brake pads perform optimally. - Damaged Brake Rotors: The brake rotors showed signs of scoring and wear from the old, worn-out brake pads, which could lead to decreased braking efficiency and potential vibrations when applying the brakes.
Solution:
We resurfaced the brake rotors to smooth out any scoring, restoring proper contact with the new brake pads and improving the vehicle’s overall braking performance. - Brake Fluid Contamination: During the inspection, we found that the brake fluid was slightly contaminated, which could affect the brake system’s responsiveness and overall performance.
Solution:
We flushed and replaced the brake fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid to ensure the brake system operates at its best, providing consistent and reliable braking power.
