Do Front and Rear Brake Pads Need to Be Replaced Together?
1 Answers
Front and rear brake pads do not need to be replaced together; replacement should be based on the thickness of the brake pads. The method for replacing car brake pads is as follows: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Unscrew the fixing screws on the brake caliper and remove the brake caliper; 3. Remove the old brake pads and push back the brake caliper piston; 4. Clean the brake disc mounting bracket and install the new brake pads. Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. Methods to determine whether brake pads need replacement include: 1. Observe if the brake pad thickness is only one-third of the original; 2. Check for abnormal noises when lightly braking; 3. Notice if the brake response is delayed and the braking force weakens.
