Brakes
Your braking system is one of the most important systems in your entire car - in regards to occupancy safety, frequency of use, and even from the perspective of performance.
Braking systems are almost always hydraulic. They use your input on the brake pedal to build pressure, push brake fluid through the brake lines, and subsequently push the pistons in the brake calipers to induce friction between your brake pads and the rotating brake disc. This slows and stops your vehicle.
All of the associated systems in this process, from your brake fluid, to pads and discs, to hoses and calipers, are all vital to keep in good condition in order to obtain optimal performance. Read more about the components in you braking system at FCP Euro's own Brake Hub!

Brake Pads
Responsible for generating friction and slowing the rotation of brake rotors to stop the vehicle, brake pads serve as a friction surface and are clamped by the brake caliper to stop the rotor from spinning. Pad materials will typically be "ceramic" or "metallic."
Shop Brake Pads
Brake Discs
Acting as a friction surface for the brake pads to scrub upon and responsible for heat dissipation, brake discs can be easily inspected to determine when replacement is due.

Brake Fluid
The hydraulic fluid responsible for the actuation of your brake calipers and directly for stopping your vehicle; brake fluid is hygroscopic and needs to be serviced regularly.

ABS Components
One of the most-important safety features in the automobile, antilock brakes cut down stopping distances regardless of weather or use conditions.

Brake Calipers
Turning hydraulic pressure from brake fluid into stopping power, the brake caliper uses a piston to compress the pads against the rotating brake disc to scrub speed.
Shop Brake Calipers
Brake Hoses
Responsible for transmitting brake fluid to the calipers at each corner of the vehicle, hoses can perish with time, reducing performance and putting you at risk of a failure.

Steering
Steering Components are any of the components involved in turning your vehicle. When you add input to the steering wheel, your efforts will typically be boosted by a hydraulic, hydroelectric, or electronic power steering rack and power steering pump to push/pull the tie rods. In doing so, your tie rods will move the front steering knuckles, turning your wheels and your vehicle. At surface level, the system appears a bit simple - because, for the most part, it is.
To keep your steering direct and free of issues, simply stay on top of any worn bushings or ball joints making clunks or bumps and fix any leaks and be certain to avoid running the power steering system dry, and your car will reward you. Looking to learn more? Check out the FCP Euro Suspension Hub!
