Front Brake Pad Replacement

How Brake Pads Operate

Through ongoing use, your vehicle’s front brake pads wear down. Depressing the brake pedal forces the brake pads into contact with the brake rotors. This creates high pressure and friction that allows the vehicle to slow and eventually stop. This constant pressure on the brake pad will cause it to wear down over time. Because you have so much forward momentum, your vehicle’s front brake pads take on the bulk of the responsibility when braking.

Signs That the Brake Pads Need Replacing

Many newer vehicles have dashboard indicators that will light up when the brake pads need replacing. You will need to follow the guidance in your vehicle’s owner’s manual if your vehicle is older. Regardless, any time that you hear grinding or squealing noises from your brakes, you need to have them inspected. This can indicate that it’s time for the brake pads to be replaced. Another sign is vibration in the steering column and a slower response when the brake pedal is depressed. These signs all show you that the vehicle is not in good condition and needs maintenance. When the front brake pads are worn, you are not safe driving.
