Rear Brake Pads & Replacement Maintenance
Brake pads are essential for automotive braking because they generate stopping resistance with the brake rotors. The brake pads’ metallic composite design explains why they wear down. They wear away as a fine powder called brake dust that you might have noticed accumulating on the wheels. They will eventually wear down until nothing remains at a rate contingent upon driving conditions. Rear brake pads are positioned at the rear wheels. Brake pad maintenance includes routine inspections and replacement service when they are worn.
Schedule ServiceWhen Are Rear Brake Pads Worn-Out?
Worn-out brake pads are defined by the thickness remaining. All brake pads are considered to be worn-out when they measure .1 inch or 3mm. This is a small brake pad sliver generating stopping power and signals the point where faulty brake pad risks are excessive.
What Happens When Worn-Out Brake Pads are Not Replaced?
Choosing to not replace the brake pads at this point will cause the brake pads to wear down entirely. Here are the risks associated with neglecting brake pad replacement service:
- Noises when braking, grinding, screeching, or squealing
- Pulling toward a side when braking
- Requiring greater distance to stop
- Dashboard warning light
- Rotor damage
How Will I Know When My Rear Brake Pads Require Replacement?
Older-model vehicles have brake pads with a warning indicator that strikes the rotor causing an eardrum-piercing metallic screech when they should be replaced. Newer models equipped with brake pad monitoring have a dashboard warning light that signals when brake pads are due for replacement. For optimum safety, all vehicles should get routine brake system inspections to stay on top of brake pad replacement maintenance.
