Brake Adjustment

Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.

Replacing Brake System Parts

The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top

-

quality GM brake parts.

When you replace parts of your braking system 

--

 for

example, when your brake linings wear down and you
need new ones put in 

--

 be sure you get new approved

GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if someone puts in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance
between your front and rear brakes can change 

--

 for the

worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect
can change in many other ways if someone puts in the
wrong replacement brake parts.
