Air Braking
Air Braking Systems within heavy duty vehicles, trucks and buses are considered critical items within all major vehicle maintenance checks.
Any defect showing within the air braking system needs to be identified and corrected promptly and thoroughly as to avoid any poor performance or accidents at worst because of poor on-road braking.

When should you replace your Air Braking Systems?
The difference between Air Braking Systems functioning as per legal standards / manufacturers specifications, and not functioning at an optimum level, can be the difference between drawing your heavy-duty vehicle to a swift stop in a crisis and causing a costly and potentially fatal accident.
Air Braking Systems are classified as critical items, therefore it is important to replace components and repair systems before they become defective, and the law takes a dim view on poor vehicle maintenance in such essential commercial vehicle components.
Some of the critical indicators that your Air Braking System might be beginning to fail are:
-
Brake Light is flashing or illuminated in the cab dashboard
-
Squealing, squeaking or grinding noises while in motion
-
Wobbling or lateral movement when starting to brake
-
Fluid leaking from the master cylinder
-
Soft or spongy feeling when depressing the brake pedal
