How to Distinguish Between Inner and Outer Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Methods to distinguish between inner and outer brake pads: The inner side of the brake pad has a friction block, while the outer side does not. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction lining and friction block within them bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. The braking process is essentially the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. Brake pads, brake discs, and brake fluid all require regular replacement. Many car owners tend to overlook brake fluid during maintenance. Brake fluid is a liquid that easily absorbs moisture. If the water content in the brake fluid is too high, it can lead to reduced braking force and extended braking distance. When the water content in the brake fluid reaches 3%, it should be replaced immediately. It is essential to have brake fluid replaced by professionals, and after replacement, the air in the brake system pipelines should be bled out; otherwise, it may affect braking performance.
