Ford Escape Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake components generally wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Ford Escape service manual for recommended maintenance intervals for all parts. Keep in mind you should invariably have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Ford Escape brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Backing plate & return spring holds your Ford Escape braking system together so it can function correctly.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are various types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Ford Escape
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to trigger the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Ford Escape.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ford Escape brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ford Escape rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ford Escape brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ford Escape maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's exceptionally critical to keep Ford Escape brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ford Escape maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Ford Escape Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Wear and tear on your brakes depends considerably on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Ford Escape has, but ordinarily front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are ordinarily under much less stress.
