How Front Brake Pads Wear Down

Your vehicle's front brake pads contact and apply pressure to your vehicle's front brake rotors. This pressure creates friction, slowing and stopping the wheel. Once your wheels stop turning, your vehicle stops moving. While the role of front brake pads seems simple, this maneuver causes damage over time. Because your wheels rotate quickly, brake pads undergo a lot of stress whenever they're used. As such, maintaining effective brake pads is essential to avoid costly repairs-and dangerous situations. While your front brake pads have a layer of protective coating, this layer is thin. As the coating wears down, the pads themselves become thinner-resulting in less brake power.

Frequently Inspecting Your Brake Pads

We recommend for safety and driving comfort to inspect the brake pads at the recommended interval and replace them proactively to ensure reliable braking if symptoms of worn brake pads emerge. Here are the most common symptoms related to worn out brake pads:

Grinding or screeching noises when braking.

Brake pedal has a different feel

Active warning indicator lights.

Visually eroded brake pads.

How Long Do Front Brake Pads Last?

Your front brake pads can take plenty of rough, tough travels. They should, however, be replaced between every 30,000 to 35,000 miles. It's a good idea to check your vehicle's Owner's Manual to examine your vehicle's specific brake pad needs.
