How often should the brake pads of the Everest be replaced?
1 Answers
The brake pads of the Everest should be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. When the vehicle has been driven over 30,000 kilometers, it is essential to regularly inspect the brake pads to check their actual thickness and ensure immediate replacement once they reach their wear limit. Below is more information about brake pads: 1. Brake pads are one of the critical components of a vehicle's braking system. The pressure from the braking system is transmitted through the piston caliper to the brake pads, and the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc generates the braking force that slows down or stops the vehicle. 2. Brake pads consist of three parts: a steel plate, adhesive material, and friction material. The effective part of the brake pad is the friction material layer. Once this layer is worn out, the braking performance of the pad declines, so the brake pads must be replaced when they wear down to the adhesive layer.
