Does smoking brake pads affect braking performance?
1 Answers
Smoking brake pads do affect braking performance. Relevant explanations are as follows: Reasons: When brake pads smoke, you should stop the vehicle promptly. It is normal for brake pads to become hot, but it is rare for civilian vehicles to glow red. The braking system of civilian vehicles typically reaches its limit before turning red, and the brake fluid may boil. When heavy-duty trucks frequently use brakes for extended periods during continuous downhill driving, the brake pads can also become hot and exhibit this phenomenon. Precautions: When replacing brake pads, always use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provided brake pads. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pads and brake discs be optimal, with minimal wear.
