How often should the brake pads on a Lexus ES be replaced?
1 Answers
For Lexus ES vehicles, there is no strict replacement interval for brake pads as it depends on driving conditions and habits. Under normal driving conditions, the lifespan of front brake pads is approximately 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads last about 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. It is recommended to inspect the front brake pads every 30,000 kilometers and the rear brake pads every 60,000 kilometers. Below is more information about brake pads: 1. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of braking is closely related to the condition of the brake pads. 2. Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored with a furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting the temperature distribution during coating.
