Semi Truck OEM Brake Parts

From a safety standpoint, the brake system is one of the most important vehicle systems because it helps you stop or slow down smoothly and in time. From early drum brakes to modern disk set-ups, brakes have undergone many design improvements to meet today's performance requirements. Modern brakes are a complex system that uses hydraulics and friction to bring your vehicle to a safe halt. Once you push the brake pedal, the lever attached to it activates the piston inside the master cylinder full of brake fluid. The piston compresses the fluid and forces it to calipers through brake pipes. A larger piston inside the brake caliper multiplies the force to push the brake pad against the moving brake disc. The friction between these two parts stops the vehicle.

Some vehicles may still use drums instead of calipers, especially on the rear wheels. Although drums operate differently, they perform the same function: turn hydraulic power into friction. No matter whether you have disc or drum brakes, it's important to keep them in tip-top condition to avoid accidents. But like many other vehicle components, brakes can't last forever. During their lifetime they are exposed to huge amounts of pressure, friction, and heat that cause them to degrade and eventually wear out. Driving habits and operating conditions also affect brake system functionality. Frequent and extremely hard braking in stop-and-go traffic makes no good to brake components. So, if you need quality and durable replacements for your brake parts, look no further than our selection of OEM brake parts. From complete brake kits to drums, pads, calipers, and rotors, we've got everything to restore proper braking performance and bring your vehicle to a safe stop when you need it.
