Why are the newly replaced brake pads not as effective as before?
1 Answers
Newly replaced brake pads are not as effective as before due to lack of break-in. Here is an introduction to the related content of brake pads: Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, are consumable parts. Wear on brake pads refers to the gradual wearing down of the pads during vehicle use. When the wear reaches the limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking effectiveness will decrease, potentially leading to brake failure and accidents. Replacement: Some vehicles have a dashboard warning light that illuminates when the brake pads are worn, reminding the driver to replace them promptly. Generally, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick, and it is recommended to replace them when the thickness wears down to less than 5 millimeters.
