Toyota Camry Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Toyota Camry brake system. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed usually. Ask your Toyota Camry maintenance manual for information on particular mileage intervals.You can even schedule your appointment online. For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Toyota experts at Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Toyota Camry brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota Camry brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Toyota Camry.
  • Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota Camry
  • Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely vital to keep Toyota Camry brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Toyota Camry maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota Camry braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota Camry rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota Camry brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota Camry maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
