Proper and regular maintenance of your Ssangyong vehicle’s brakes is essential to ensure secure and safe operation, as well as prolonging their lifetime. Knowing when and how to properly service your brakes can save you time, money, and precious fuel.
The brake system in your Ssangyong needs to be inspected and maintained at least once a year. Here is a guide to maintaining and servicing Ssangyong brakes.
First, inspect the entire system for any signs of wear, tear or damage. Pay special attention to the brake pads, rotors, caliper, fluid lines, wheel cylinders and hydraulic systems. Make sure all these components are in good condition.
Secondly, check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. Make sure to top off the reservoir if it is low. Only use the specified recommended brake fluid for your Ssangyong.
Thirdly, observe the brakes during braking. Pay attention to any grinding, squeaking or other noises that may provide an indication of worn brakes. If you hear any noises, it is time to replace the brake pads.
Fourth, pay attention to front and rear brake disc size. Many Ssangyong models have different size front and rear brakes. Make sure your front brakes are smaller than the rear disc. Also, check that all the discs are of the same diameter.
Finally, grease the brake points. If your Ssangyong has been sitting idle for a few days, the brake fluid may become dry. This can cause corrosion and other problems. Grease the brake points to ensure that the system works properly.
These are some of the key points to remember when servicing and maintaining your Ssangyong brakes. Make sure to have a professional mechanic inspect and maintain your brakes annually to help keep them running smoothly and safely. A yearly brake service check-up can also help give you peace of mind that your brakes are in good condition.
