How Often Should the Brake Pump Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The ideal replacement interval for brake pads is approximately 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Here are several situations indicating the need for brake pad replacement: 1. Check the brake pad thickness: You can bend down to inspect the thickness of your brake pads. New brake pads typically measure 1.5 cm in thickness. If the remaining thickness is only about half the width of a fingernail, it's time to pay attention, and if it becomes even narrower, the brake pads must be replaced. 2. Brake indicator light: When the light comes on, it's essential to replace the brake pads. 3. Listen for sounds: Many brake pads have a small metal tab at the wear limit. When the pad wears down to this point, you will hear a sharp metal-on-metal scraping sound from the wheel area, indicating that the brake pads need replacement.
