Where is the location of the brake pads?
1 Answers
Brake pads are located inside all four wheels. Cars have disc brakes and drum brakes. The brake pads of disc brakes can be seen from the outside of the four wheels, and their performance is better than drum brakes. The brake shoes inside the drum brakes are not visible from the outside. Below are some related explanations: 1. When using the parking brake, the rear brakes are engaged, requiring the action of the brake pads. 2. The parking brake adds a cable-controlled mechanism to the rear brakes. Some vehicles are equipped with a brake pad warning function. Once the wear limit is reached, the dashboard will alert the driver to replace them. 3. Generally, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. Not only should the remaining thickness be checked, but also the wear condition of the pads, whether both sides are wearing evenly, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormal conditions must be addressed immediately. Do not wait until the friction material is completely worn out before replacing the brake pads.
