How to check and inspect and Brake Disc and Brake Drum on Oldsmobile Cutlass?

Whenever the disc brake pads are checked for wear, it is also necessary to look at the state or condition of the discs or rotors. Thus, ligth scoring or grooving are expected but deep grooves or severity erosion are not permitted. Some models have a specific channel, the so-called squeal groove, which should not be confused with damage. The existence of a vibration when the brake is applied has also been attributed to disc run out. To check for this, a dial gauge or feeler blades may be used between the disc and any fixed point. It was established that the disc should be turned at a slow rate in order not to exceed the runout of 0.004 inches. Thickness variations that are above the 0.0005 inches may also imply that the disc will vibrate during braking. Discs usually have wear limit and refinish thickness dimensions moulded on them. On the other hand, if a dealer fails to refinish a disc to certain standards of the set tolerance, a new disc has to be fitted. When a brake drum is pulled on a particular scheme for a lining inspection, it is necessary to look for cracks, 'scoring,' and out-of-round conditions. An out-of-round drum results in pulsations felt through the brake pedal during the application and the internal diameter has to be checked at various positions using an internal micrometer. Drums may be refinished internally; however, the wear and refinish sizes that may be cast into them must not be exceeded.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Brake Drum

This component can be found in Oldsmobile Cutlass vehicles where the brake drum is important on the braking system especially for automobiles that have drum type of brake system on the rear wheels. Its main role is to reduce or even eliminate the motion of the vehicle by providing resistance through contact between Brake Shoes and Brake Drum. Constructed from heat conductivity and wear resistant cast iron the Brake Drum is built to offer continuous durability during its operation. When brakes are on the brake lining exert radial pressure on the inner surface of the Brake Drum, which leads to relative friction between the wheel and axle in order to slow down the axle. This process is actually associated with consideration of a number of thermal operations in addition to heat which is produced as a result of friction between successively attrited layers. In the course of the years, there could be some changes of the Brake Drum type that could have been incorporated in the Oldsmobile Cutlass models to improve the capability in braking with style and safety.

Each OEM Oldsmobile Cutlass Brake Drum we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
