OE 21-3502080 Wear Resistance Aftermarket Brake Pads Car Parts Brake Pads

Product Description:

The primary function of brake pads is to provide the necessary friction and stopping power to slow down and stop a moving vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake calipers, which squeeze the brake pads against the brake discs (or drums) attached to the wheels.

Brake pads are critical components for a vehicle's braking system and have five key functions: friction generation, heat dissipation, wear resistance, noise and vibration dampening, and compatibility with the brake system.

Friction is generated between the brake pads and the brake discs or drums to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy, which slows down and eventually stops the vehicle. To handle the high temperatures and dissipate heat efficiently, brake pads are designed with wear resistance to protect other, more expensive components such as the brake discs or drums. Furthermore, brake pads play a role in minimizing NVH during braking by reducing brake squeal and dampening vibrations. Last but not least, brake pads are engineered to fit precisely and make proper contact with the brake discs or drums, ensuring efficient transfer of braking force.

In conclusion, brake pads are fundamental to providing the necessary friction and wear resistance for safe and effective braking. They ensure the driver has control over the vehicle's speed and stopping distance, contributing to the overall performance and reliability of a vehicle's braking system.

If your car's brake pads need replacing, there are several ways you can tell.

If you hear high-pitched squeaking or squealing when you press the brakes, it is likely that the brake pads have worn down significantly. Most brake pads include wear indicators – small metal tabs that will rub against the brake disc when the pads are worn-out, producing the noise as a warning that replacement is necessary.

If the sound you hear is more of a grinding noise, similar to metal-on-metal contact, then it means the brake pads have been completely worn down and the metal backing plate is rubbing against the brake disc or drum. This will cause damage to various braking components and reduce efficiency, requiring immediate replacement.

You may also notice that it takes longer for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, or that the brakes are less responsive than usual. This is a sign that the friction material on the brakes is wearing down, and that you need to replace the pads to restore normal brakes functioning.

Finally, pulsations or vibrations through the brake pedal may indicate that the brake pads are warped or unevenly worn. In this case, replacing both the brake pads and resurfacing or replacing the discs or drums may be necessary.

Some modern cars also have dashboard warning lights that alert you when the sensor confirms that the brake pads are worn down a certain level.
