Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Immediately If They Make Noise?
1 Answers
When there is a sharp sound during braking, it is time to replace the brake pads. The main performance characteristics of brake pads are as follows: 1. High performance: High friction coefficient (Golden Kylin ceramic brake pads have a friction coefficient of 0.45, which is considered high), heat resistance, and outstanding performance during high-speed and high-temperature driving, providing good braking effectiveness and comfort under such conditions. 2. Safety: Low heat fade, excellent recovery performance, ensuring braking performance does not degrade on mountainous roads or under high-temperature and high-speed conditions, thereby maximizing vehicle safety. They are highly suitable for use in mountainous areas, highways, and various other road conditions. 3. Comfort: Smooth braking, no noise, no pollution, and balanced braking. 4. Reasonable service life: For general non-modified vehicles under normal driving conditions, the lifespan of front brake pads is 30,000–50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads last 80,000–100,000 kilometers. Front brake discs have a lifespan of 60,000–100,000 kilometers. For vehicles frequently driven in mountainous areas, the lifespan of both brake pads and discs is significantly shorter.
