How to determine whether the brake pad needs to be replaced

2023-01-09

How to tell if brake pads need to be replaced:

First of all, the thickness. Second, listen to the sound. Third, rely on foot feeling. Generally, the service life of brake pads is about 40,000-60,000km. Harsh vehicle environment and aggressive driving will shorten its service life in advance.

First of all, the thickness. The thickness of the new Brake Pad is generally about 1.5cm, and it will become thinner due to friction during use. If the black friction material of the brake pads is almost worn down and only one-third (about 5 mm) of the thickness is left, it is necessary to consider replacement.

Second, listen to the sound. If you hear a sizzling sound, similar to the sound of rubbing iron, you should replace the brake pad in time. Because the brake pads are so thin, the limit marks on both sides rub directly against the brake discs.

Third, rely on foot feeling. I feel very tired. There is always a soft feeling. It often takes a deeper step to get the same braking effect. When emergency braking is used, the pedal position is obviously low. It may be that the brake pads have lost most of their friction and must be replaced.

Generally, most brake discs are distributed with three small grooves, called wear indicators. When the Brake Disc wear, can not see the small groove, that has reached the wear limit, need to be replaced immediately.
