Always Maintain Brakes as an Auto Safety System

Of all the safety systems in your vehicle, the brakes are easily one of the most important. Your brakes work hard every day to keep you, your family, and everyone else on the road safe. The amount of force that’s exerted by your brake pistons and the amount of pressure and strain that your discs and pads have to endure are tremendous. The tough job and known wear will ultimately demand that the brake pads get frequent inspections and replaced when they are worn to the point of replacement.

How Your Brake Pads Work

The purpose of your brake pads is to cushion the piston and protect the disc rotor from making the metal on metal contact with the piston. While brake pads do wear the rotor somewhat, they wear it down much more slowly than they would without the pad. You’ll have heard the sound of metal on metal coming from cars with worn-out brake pads- that’s the sound of the piston biting into the rotor. Therefore, brake pads are a very important part of your braking system.

Types of Brake Pads

There are four common types of brake pads:

• Semi-Metallic Brake Pads: Made from 30% to 60% metal, high durability and cause high disc wear
• Non-Asbestos Brake Pads: Made from softer, organic materials like fiber, glass, and rubber- low durability and low disc wear
• Low-Metallic NAO: Made from organic material and copper, these offer medium durability and disc wear
• Ceramic Brake Padszz: Low noise, high durability, and low to medium disc wear, these are considered high-performance brake pads
