Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Simultaneously?

[MacAmy]

Brake pads should not be replaced simultaneously. Replacement should be based on the thickness of the brake pads. The front pads need to be checked after 50,000 kilometers, and they should be replaced when the thickness is around 3 to 4mm. The rear pads need to be checked after approximately 80,000 kilometers, and they should be replaced when the thickness reaches 3 to 4mm. Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the front wheels are on their second replacement, the rear wheels will only need their first replacement. Automobile brake pads, also known as brake linings, are friction materials fixed on the brake drums or discs that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and friction blocks within them bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Automobile brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, bonded heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The steel plates are coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during the coating process meets quality standards.
