No More Squeals with a Honda Brake Disc

Anthony Fontanelle
March 4, 2008

While your Honda car is great with engine performance, another thing you can be proud of is its efficient braking system. The company makes sure that your car’s strong engine performance is coupled with an extremely reliable braking system. To guarantee its reliability, Honda adopted the disc brake system and installed it in its vehicles. This system is ideal since it helps delay early wear and tear, self adjusting, and water resistant. The Honda brake disc is one of the integral parts in the brake disc system.

Braking systems generate a lot of heat. When this heat is accumulated, it causes the brake parts’ early wear and tear. That is why a Honda brake disc have holes that are also called cooling fins. The cooling fins allow the excess heat to dissipate, Thus maintaining the good condition of braking components. Also, brake discs absorb the excess heat, keeping it away from the other brake parts. Honda brake discs are made of materials that are very good heat conductors like metal alloy. They have a series of slots cutting from the edge into the center as well. These slots provide a larger amount of space for better airflow.

But even though Honda uses quality materials to produce the Honda brake discs, natural wear and tear can still occur. Also, dirt like dust and mud can get into the slots and block the airway, reducing the airflow. Furthermore, corrosion can cause cracks and gouges to form on the brake discs’ surface. Signs of brake disc damage are vibrating steering wheels and high-pitched squeals when the car stops. When this happens, replacing them with a Honda brake disc is a must. We offer top notch Honda brake discs from our online catalog. And as they are offered at discounted prices, you can save money but still get quality braking performance.
