Almost all new cars including your Geo have disc brakes on the front wheels. Why is this so? Your Geo front wheels should have greater stopping performance and the disc brake can do it well as compared to the drum brakes. What makes the disc brake a dependable Geo brake system is a fully functional Geo brake disc.

A Geo brake disc is actually the British term for a brake rotor. It is the component of the disc brake that rotates with the wheel and is squeezed by the brake caliper and brake pads. A Geo brake disc is usually made of cast iron or ceramic which is attached to the wheel or axle. Some of the brake disc which are hollowed out with fins that joins together the two contact surfaces of the disc are designed to dissipate the heat generated. This kind of brake disc is called “ventilated” disc and is mostly used on the heavy loaded front brake rotors.

The mechanism that takes place between the Geo brake disc, brake calipers, and brake pads creates friction and converts the energy of the moving vehicle into heat which is then the basis of the braking power. Upon the application of the brake pedal, the brake pads are forced by the pressure from the hydraulic fluid against the Geo brake disc. The result of this contact between the brake disc and the brake pads produces friction which enables your Geo vehicle to slow down or stop.

The wearing of the Geo brake disc is indispensable. Sooner or later it will start to show signs of brake disc failures. Usually, a Geo brake disc is damaged due to warping or cracking. Warping is caused by over machined brake disc that produced excessive heat and make the metal soft. Cracking which is common to drilled disc is due to the rotor’s expansion in an uneven rate. Some manifestations of a defective brake disc are brake squealing, pulling motion of the vehicle and dragging brakes.

If you start to experience the signs of a defective Geo brake disc, have it checked by a professional mechanic. Any brake-related problems should be attended immediately to spare your Geo and yourself from any untoward incidents. And for your Geo brake disc replacement needs, Parts Train will take care of it.
