Rated. / 5. Based on customer reviews
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but
if
you
ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the
rear brake linings inspected. Also, the rear brake drums
should be removed and inspected each time the tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer
if
the brake pedal does
not
return to
normal height, or if there is a rapid increase
in
pedal
travel. This could be a sign
of
brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time
you
make a brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
If
your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your
rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by
backing up and firmly applying
the
brakes a few times.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The
braking system on a modern vehicle
is
complex.
Its
many parts have to be
of
top quality and work well
together
if
the vehicle is
to
have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM
brake
parts
in
them, as your vehicle does when
it
is new. When
you replace parts of your braking system
--
for example,
when your brake linings wear down and
you
have to have
new ones put
in
--
be sure you get new genuine
GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example,
if
someone puts in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle,
the
balance
between your front and rear brakes can change
--
for the
worse. The braking performance
you’ve
come to expect
can change
in
many other ways if someone puts
in
the
wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have
to
add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on
the
original battery’s label.
