How many kilometers should car brake pads be replaced?
1 Answers
Front brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. There might be slight variations for different vehicle models. Here are the methods to check brake pads: 1. Check thickness: New brake pads are typically about 1.5cm thick. When visual inspection shows the thickness has reduced to approximately 1/3 of the original (about 0.5cm), they should be replaced. 2. Listen for sounds: If you hear a metallic scraping sound when lightly applying the brakes, the brake pads must be replaced immediately.
