Brake pads are an essential part of your vehicle’s braking system. When you press on the brake pedal to stop, the brake pads are then pressed against the brake rotor to create friction. This will make your vehicle safely come to a stop or slow down, depending on how hard you press the brake pedal. Since brakes are a very important part of your vehicle, getting them serviced at the appropriate time is important. Generally, it is advised to get your brake pad replaced every 50,000 miles. If you tow more than the average driver your brake pads will wear down faster than someone’s vehicle that primarily commutes on flatter highways.
Disc Brakes & Drum Brakes
Disc brakes use a small rotor and caliper to stop your vehicle. The components of drum brakes are housed in a round drum. When the brake pedal is applied, the shoe is pushed against the drum and slows your vehicle. Brake pads are flat metal plates that have a layer of friction-creating materials. These materials are usually either non-asbestos organic, ceramic, or semi-metallic. They are all designed to absorb and disperse heat and efficiently stop your vehicle. When you’re getting your brake pads replaced, depending on the material composition, it’s important to consider the amount of noise and dust. If you have any questions about which brake pad material is best for you and your vehicle, ask Wichita Premier Auto Services, and they’ll be happy to answer all your questions.
