Where are the thick AB pads of the brake pads located?
1 Answers
The thick AB pads of the brake pads are located on the brake disc or brake drum of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (i.e., scraping sounds) will not occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal screeching noise caused by the mutual friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and brake discs).
