Is It Normal for Newly Replaced Brake Pads to Get Hot?
1 Answers
It is not normal for newly replaced brake pads to get hot. Here are some precautions for using brake pads: 1. Service Life: Under normal driving conditions, the service life of front brake pads is generally 30,000–50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads last 120,000–150,000 kilometers. The replacement time should be determined based on the actual wear condition. The mileage specified by manufacturers may vary depending on the vehicle model. 2. Replacement: When replacing brake pads, choose products from reputable manufacturers. Typically, brake pads produced by reputable manufacturers have clear packaging prints, including license numbers, specified friction coefficients, and execution standards. The packaging box should also contain a certificate of compliance, production batch number, and production date. It is recommended to have new brake pads installed by professionals at a specialized repair shop to avoid errors and potential safety hazards. 3. Inspection: When inspecting brake pads, it is also necessary to check the wear of the brake discs or drums to ensure sufficient contact area with the brake pads and improve braking performance.
