Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern
vehicle is
complex. Its many parts have
to be
of top quality -and work well
together if the vehicle is to haye really
good braking. Vehicles we design and
test have top-quality GM brake-parts in
the&, as
your Corvette does when it is
new. When you replace parts of your
braking 'system-for example, when
your brakelinings wear down and you
have to have new ones put in-be sure
you get new genuine GM replacement
parts. If.you don't, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if
someone.puts
in b.r&e 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.
