How many kilometers should Corolla brake pads be replaced?
1 Answers
Corolla front brake pads generally need to be replaced at around 30,000 kilometers. Rear brake pads usually require replacement at approximately 60,000 kilometers. The exact timing depends on the vehicle's driving conditions and the driver's habits, but the key factor is the thickness of the brake pads. If the brake pad thickness is less than 3MM, replacement is necessary. Additional information: 1. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies on the brake pads, making high-quality brake pads the guardian of both people and vehicles. 2. Brake pads typically consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The heat insulation layer is made of non-conductive materials to prevent heat transfer. The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives, which create friction when pressed against the brake disc or drum during braking, thereby slowing or stopping the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear. It is essential to replace the brake pads promptly once the friction material is depleted; otherwise, the steel plate will come into direct contact with the brake disc, ultimately leading to loss of braking effectiveness and damage to the brake disc.
