BRAKE PAD FAQS
Still have questions about brake pad replacements? We’ve got the answers you need.
What Are Brake Pads and How Do They Work?
Ever wondered how your vehicle comes to a stop when you press the brake pedal? Your vehicle’s braking system is made up of several key components that work together to safely bring your car to a halt.
There are two types of braking systems: disc brakes and drum brakes. Both use friction and resistance to convert the energy created by your moving tires into heat, which helps slow them down. Brake pads are crucial in this process, as they make contact with the rotors in your vehicle’s disc brake system to generate the friction needed to stop. Typically, brake pads need replacing every 25,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and conditions.
If your brake pads are wearing out, you might notice these warning signs:
-
Brake warning light on the dashboard: Many newer vehicles are equipped with sensors that alert you when the brake pads reach a certain thickness. Check your owner’s manual to recognize what the warning light looks like for your car.
-
Squeaking or squealing brakes: Brake pads are designed to squeak when they wear down to about 2mm thick. If you hear this sound, it’s time for a replacement to avoid damaging the rotors.
-
Spongy brake pedal: If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy when pressed, there may be air in your brake lines, reducing the pressure. A brake system bleed and fluid replacement can usually resolve this issue.
-
Shaking steering wheel: A vibrating steering wheel could mean your brake rotors are warped or worn due to heat exposure. This might happen after driving through water while the rotors are hot.
-
Wobbling or pulsating at high speeds: Uneven wear on your brake rotors can cause a wobbling sensation at highway speeds. If this occurs, both your brake pads and rotors may need replacement.
How Often Should You Replace Your Brake Pads?
Brake pads naturally wear out due to the friction involved in stopping your vehicle. New brake pads typically have 8 to 12mm of material. Once they wear down to 3-4mm, you’ll likely hear squeaking. At this point, it’s crucial to get them replaced to avoid rotor damage, which can save you money on repairs.
Brake rotors also wear down over time, though not as quickly as brake pads. If you replace your pads before they begin grinding against the rotors, your rotors should last longer. A Woody’s Mobile Brakes technician can inspect the thickness of your rotors and let you know if they need replacement. It’s also recommended to perform a brake fluid exchange during your brake pad service for optimal braking performance.
