The brake pads of the car have an important job, which is to brake and bring the car to a stop. As soon as you press the brake pedal, the brake pads are pushed against the brake discs. Because there is a strong friction between the brake discs and brake pads, the vehicle will slow down. This friction also means that the brake pads and brake discs are prone to wear and need to be replaced regularly. On average, brake pads will last between 30,000 and 50,000 kilometers. This depends, among other things, on the driving style and driving behaviour. Therefore, check approximately every 15,000 kilometers whether the brake pads are still in good condition.
Brake pad mounting
If you are going to replace the brake pads yourself, you can find useful mounting parts in the category 'brake pad assembly'. These mounting parts such as accessory sets, springs and bleed nipples will come in handy when installing your new brake pads. To find the right mounting parts for your job, simply enter the car model and the correct parts will be displayed.
Replace brake pads
When the brake pads are worn and need to be replaced, you can recognize this by a squeaking or grinding noise during braking. Furthermore, the brake pedal may vibrate or you may notice that the braking distance increases. In addition, most modern cars are equipped with a wear indicator. This indicator causes a malfunction light in the dashboard to illuminate when the brake pads are worn. Have you noticed any of these symptoms? Make sure to replace the brake pads as soon as possible to avoid dangerous situations. Worn brake pads can greatly reduce braking power.
