Is It Normal for Car Brake Pads to Shed Brake Dust?

[IsaacFitz]

It is normal for car brake pads to shed brake dust. Brake pads that shed dust quickly are less likely to wear down the brake discs. Brake pads refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drums or discs that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and blocks within them bear external pressure, generating friction to achieve the purpose of decelerating the vehicle. The maintenance methods for car brake pads include: 1. Avoid sudden braking; 2. Reduce the frequency of braking; 3. Regularly perform wheel alignment; 4. Pay attention to the break-in period after replacing brake pads. Brake pads are categorized by brake type into: disc brake pads and drum brake shoes. Their materials include: resin-based brake materials, powder metallurgy brake materials, carbon composite brake materials, and ceramic-based brake materials.
