How to Check Your Car's Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Methods to check your car's brake pads: 1. Check the thickness of the brake pads. When visual inspection shows that the thickness of the brake pads is only one-third of the original thickness, the owner should increase the frequency of self-inspection and be ready to replace the brake pads at any time; 2. If there is a metallic scraping sound like "iron rubbing against iron" when lightly applying the brakes, the brake pads must be replaced immediately, as the limit indicators on both sides of the brake pads are already directly rubbing against the brake disc, indicating that the brake pads have exceeded their limit. Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the friction material fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction lining and friction block bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.
