Bosch 0986479442 Brake Disc

Description

This Bosch Brake Disc is a critical component of a vehicle's braking system, responsible for providing a friction surface for the brake pads to engage and slow or stop the vehicle. It is used in conjunction with calipers and pads on the front or rear axles of many vehicle makes and models. This brake disc provides reliable stopping power and enhanced driving safety. Manufactured in China, this disc has dimensions of 178 x 329 x 329 mm and carries MPN 0986479442.

Key Features & Benefits

These are the shiny metal discs that your brake pads squeeze against when you hit the brakes. Basically, friction is what slows you down, and that friction happens right there, between the pad and the disc. They’re designed to dissipate heat – turning that braking energy into heat, and spreading it out so things don’t overheat. They also provide a smooth, consistent surface for the pads to grab onto. Think of them as a key part of your stopping power. When you push the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the calipers, and the pads clamp down on these discs. The wheels are attached to these discs, so when they slow down, you slow down. They work alongside your brake pads, calipers, and brake lines – it's a whole system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, they’re pretty critical. If these get worn down, warped, or damaged, your stopping distance increases, and you could experience vibrations when braking. You’ll notice if they're really bad – maybe a pulsing in the brake pedal, or the car pulling to one side. Regular checks are important. If you're doing brake work yourself, you can find a good selection of discs, including the ones for your vehicle, over at Fixparts Online, but any auto parts store will carry them. You really want these in good shape for safety’s sake – they essentially act like a shield between you and a potential accident. Worn discs can also damage your brake pads, costing you more money in the long run.
