The rate of wear is primarily related to the material of the brake discs and brake pads, so uneven material composition of the brake pads could be one possible cause. Below are the standard guidelines for replacing brake pads: 1. Thickness: Normal brake pads are about 10mm thick, and they should be replaced if they wear down to below 6mm. 2. Noise: If unusual noises frequently occur during braking, it indicates severe wear and the need for replacement. 3. Pedal feel: When brake pads are severely worn, their braking efficiency decreases, leading to a weak braking response, which means the pads should be replaced promptly.

What are the reasons for the right side pressing the line during parallel parking?

The reasons for the right side pressing the line during parallel parking are as follows: 1. Reversing into the space too late. If you reverse too late, by the time the entire car body is in the space, it's already impossible to adjust, directly pressing the right line. This is the most common cause of pressing the line. 2. Moving too fast while reversing. If the speed is too fast, there's no time to straighten the car body, and the rear wheels may already press the rear line, or the car body may touch the line. 3. Driver's line of sight issues when exiting the space. The driver may only focus on adjusting the front of the car and neglect checking the distance between the right wheel and the corner line in the right mirror. Additionally, turning the steering wheel too quickly may cause the right wheel to press the side line when exiting.
