About Brake Discs

The Suzuki brake discs is a smooth circular steel plate that spins with the road wheels and is used with the brakes to slow the vehicle.

Located behind the wheels the disc is straddled by the brake calipers which contain the brake pad system.

The disc is in a fixed rotation with each wheel, when the brakes are applied the brake pads, on each side of the disc, which are located in the caliper, are forced hydraulically onto the disc which, through friction, slow the rotation of the disc and subsequently the wheels and the vehicle.

Problems with the Suzuki brake discs can include excessive scoring of the smooth surface, due to the failure to renew brake pads, or corrosion. Removal of the disc requires caliper removal.

Due to the high energy forces, heat, friction and stresses involved with the braking system in the area of the discs and wheels it is of the utmost importance that all components are in good order.

Suzuki trivia

• Suzuki builds just over 3 million cars a year, making it one of the largest car manufacturers in the world.
• The 2011 Suzuki Q concept car was a huge embarrassment for the car company. The electric vehicle was ridiculed as looking like a fishbowl, and could only manage a six-mile range.
• Suzuki sold its first car, the 360cc Suzulight, in 1955. Before that, the company generally made looms, then bicycles.
• Suzuki sells more cars in India than in any other country. They started selling there in 1981 after realising the huge potential market. They now have around 47% of the market share, with their closest competitors being Hyundai who have just 17%.
• A lengthy and controversial court case seriously affected Suzuki's reputation. An article in Consumer Reports in 1996 said that the Suzuki Samurai 4x4 was easily tipped over. Sales dropped after the review, and Suzuki sued the magazine. They hoped to get more than £60million, but after eight years, the case was settled out of court.
