The Importance of Your Brake Pads

Today's braking systems come equipped with a wide variety of parts and components designed to optimize performance and protect the system. From the brake disc to the brake lines, there are numerous things you can point to within the system. One component that's especially important to your control and the overall safety of the braking system are the brake pads. Thes pads are attached to the calipers, which squeeze on the brake disc, and help slow down the disc's rotation and as a result, your vehicle. These pads are typically constructed with various components that include a rubberized coating. Because of this structure, they are susceptible to wear and tear. Today's technology has allowed these pads to last longer than ever, but unfortunately, these components will need to be replaced at some point. Failure to do so can lead to significant damage to the system and extensive repairs.

How can you identify when the brake pads need to be replaced ? The easiest way to know when the brake pads need to be replaced is to listen to the brakes! You specifically want to listen for squeaking/squealing and grinding. If you hear squeaking/squealing, that indicates the brake pads are at their minimum thickness. No damage has been done to the system yet, but we recommend a service at your earliest convenience. If you hear grinding, that lets you know the pads have fully worn out, and there's metal-on-metal contact between the calipers and brake disc. This can cause significant damage to the system, and we recommend service as soon as possible!
