Poor Brake Performance, the Phenolic Fix
If you’ve worked in automotive long enough, you’ve probably seen it. The customer complains that the brakes don’t stop like they used to or that the vehicle seems to drag as it rolls to a stop. Sometimes there’s a faint burning smell they can’t quite explain or a noise they cancelled out via the radio. Often, though, the customer doesn’t mention anything at all, but to your trained eye, the story is already visible through the wheel. The rotors are heat scorched, the pads are worn unevenly, and something clearly isn’t right.
