Brake Pads

Brake pads are one of the three main brake components used to slow and stop your car. They are key pieces for disc brakes.

How Brake Pads Work

Brake pads are designed to be durable and worthy of high temperatures. There are several types of brake pad materials. Most common are organic brake pads made of glass and rubber particles. Then there are ceramic pads, as well as semi-metallic and metallic brake pads. These pads are connected to the brake caliper assembly. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid is delivered to the calipers which engage a piston forward. This piston is responsible for pushing the brake pads into the moving rotor discs located behind the wheels. The friction created slows and eventually stops the car as long as the brake is engaged.

When Should You Replace Your Brake Pads?

Brake pads go thin over the years. Usually around 40,000+ miles. Around this time is when you should be visually inspecting the thickness of your brake pads. You may also notice signs that your brake pads are creating abnormal noises when braking. If you experience a softer brake pedal when compressing it to stop, or you notice longer braking times, seek a brake inspection ASAP. Doing so early on can prevent further damages to the braking system.
