Where Are the Brake Pads Located?

[LeTucker]

The brake pads of a car are located within the four wheel hubs. During daily driving, the following points should be noted: 1. Regular maintenance is essential, especially before highway driving. Always check if the brake pads are in good condition to ensure safety. 2. Avoid sudden braking, as frequent hard braking accelerates the wear of the brake pads. 3. Prevent water immersion to avoid corrosion of the brake pads. Additional Information: 1. Brake pads are the most critical component of a car's braking system. They typically consist of a steel plate, friction material, and an insulating layer. Braking is achieved by squeezing the brake disc to generate friction. 2. The insulating layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction material is composed of friction compounds and adhesives. Due to friction, the friction material gradually wears out. Generally, lower-cost brake pads wear out faster. Once the friction material is depleted, the brake pads should be replaced promptly. Otherwise, the steel plate will come into direct contact with the brake disc, ultimately leading to loss of braking effectiveness and damage to the brake disc.
