Most sport utility vehicles, minivans, vans, pickup trucks and cars have a disc braking system. The disc has a piston and a rotor. When the piston's caliper squeezes the rotor, it slows down. This slows down your tires, bringing your car to a stop. Between the rotor and the caliper are the brake pads.
Pads lessen the friction and heat between the caliper and rotor. The forces required to stop the car are intense, and the brake pads help to dissipate friction and heat, preserving the lifespan of the rotor and piston.
The car alignment is an important part of keeping your car safe and running well on the road. Your suspension relies on your axles and wheels being appropriately aligned. Otherwise, it could pull to a certain direction and cause difficulty driving. The process to aligning your vehicle is performed by a mechanic and involves precise measurements and angles that are provided by your vehicle's manufacturer. These suspension angles are referred to as camber, caster, toe, and thrust.
