Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repairs

We want to make sure you have the information you need to properly care for your Ford F-150 truck, so we’re happy to answer any questions you may have about its brakes and other service needs. We’ve listed a few common questions about brakes below. You may be wondering:

  • What are disc brakes vs. drum brakes? Disc brakes employ a rotor, caliper, and brake pads to slow and stop a car. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads inside the caliper are squeezed against the rotor, generating the friction needed to bring the vehicle to a stop. Drum brakes employ a brake drum (which turns with the wheel), brake shoes, and other components. During braking, the brake shoes are forced outward against the inside of each brake drum, generating the friction needed to bring the vehicle to a stop.
  • How often should I check the brake fluid? You can stay proactive and check your F-150 truck’s brake fluid every few months or when you get your oil changed. You can also take a look at your owner’s manual to find out when you should have the brake fluid replaced. Our service team will be happy to check the brake fluid for you and replace it when needed! To check the brake fluid on your own, you’ll want to choose a level surface to park your truck on. Then, pop the hood and find the brake fluid reservoir, which should be shown in your owner’s manual. Find the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir and see where the brake fluid hits. If the brake fluid is close to or under the MIN mark, or if it’s dark or murky, then you’ll know it’s time to make an appointment with our service experts.
  • Can I drive with worn brake pads? We do not recommend driving with worn brake pads as this can pose a danger to you and others. Not only can driving with worn brake pads result in poor brake performance, but it also can result in extensive damage to the rotors and calipers. Before you reach that point, make sure your brake pads are replaced promptly.
  • Do Ford F-150 trucks use OEM brake parts? When making replacements, the service technicians at Mike Reichenbach Ford use genuine Ford OEM brake parts for optimal performance. These Ford parts are designed to fit your Ford F-150 precisely and maintain its quality.
