Drum Brake Service for Peterbilt Trucks
Brake Pad Replacement
One of the most important aspects of drum brake maintenance is changing the brake pads on your Peterbilt truck once they’ve fully worn down. Heavy-duty brake pads generally need to be replaced once every 30 to 60 thousand miles. It’s vital that you stay conscious of this service interval, as there aren’t many symptoms of brake pad wear. As brake pads wear down, your slack adjuster will take up the slack and mitigate the effects of the wear and tear. This means your brakes will be fully functional regardless of how much pad is left.
Slack Adjuster Repair
As your brake pads wear down on your Peterbilt truck, your slack adjuster will take up slack to mitigate the impacts of a worn brake pad. This means your brakes will be fully functional regardless of the state of your brake pads. However, if you notice that it’s becoming more difficult to bring your truck to a stop, you may have a problem with your slack adjuster. Although slack adjusters are automatic, they may need calibration over time by a trained professional. Call Fleet Services Group today to get your slack adjusters serviced in Fontana, California.
