Its many parts have to beof top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, asyour Cadillacdoes when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system -- for example, when your brake linings wear down and you have to have new ones putin -- be sureyou get new genuine GM replacement parts.If you don't, your brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if someone putsin brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance betweenyour front and rear brakes can change, forthe worse. The braking performanceyou've come to expect can changein many other ways if someone putsin the wrong replacement brake parts.
