Volvo 1800 Brake parts 

Brake parts for Volvo P1800

Your brakes are one of the most important safety measures on your Volvo P1800 for you, your passengers, your fellow road users, and pedestrians, and if you do not have them, you must repair them as soon as you can. You are certainly well aware of the fact that the function of the brakes is to slow down the speed of your Volvo P1800 and make it stop, and therefore you understand how important it is that they actually work.

When you press down your brake pedal, the wheels stop rolling by hydraulics sending the power that you put on the brake pedal to the brake caliper. It causes the brake discs to touch each other and create friction, which causes the rolling of the wheels to slow down and eventually stop. What the brakes do during this process is that they remove the kinetic energy that has been created and convert it into heat.

As the brakes are used very frequently during driving to regulate the speed of the car, a lot of friction is also created between the brake discs, which exposes them to a lot of wear. When the friction is created and they wear out, they also become thinner and thinner each time. You should be aware of the size that is recommended for your brake discs, and the moment they become too thin, it is time to replace them. After all, you do not want the brakes to wear too much because then your braking distance increases and you find it more difficult to control your Volvo P1800. If you also suspect or notice that the brakes are becoming worse, it is better to send your Volvo P1800 for service to fix the problem immediately. When replacing your brake discs, you should do it in pairs, or all at once so that they maintain the same thickness. The reason for doing this is that your steering would be much worse if the discs were too uneven.

Make sure that you do not replace your brakes at home yourself if you do not have the right skills. However, something that is worth thinking about is that no matter how many brake discs you replace or buy, you only need one single mounting kit and one single brake lining kit to be able to replace them.
