Will Newly Replaced Brake Pads Fail to Stop the Car?
1 Answers
Newly replaced brake pads may fail to stop the car effectively because their surfaces are relatively flat, resulting in reduced contact area with the brake discs and lower braking force. This can lead to inadequate stopping power. New brake pads require a break-in period of approximately 200 kilometers before they can achieve optimal braking performance. Precautions for replacing brake pads: 1. Always use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads to ensure effective braking and minimize wear between the pads and discs. 2. Special tools must be used to retract the brake caliper pistons during replacement. 3. After installation, firmly depress the brake pedal several times to eliminate any gaps between the pads and discs.
