Why Does My Vehicle Need Its Brake Pads Replaced?

Let's start by looking at how the brake system functions. When you step on the brake pedal, the force is transferred to the calipers situated on the wheels, which squeeze together. These calipers have brake pads attached to them; when they tighten, the brake pads press against the brake rotors, slowing your vehicle down or bringing it to a stop. In order to keep your brake system from suffering friction damage, the brake pads have a lining that's made from a softer material. This lining is what presses against the metal rotors, and it's designed to stand up well to friction -- but it still gets thinner over time. When the brake pad lining is thin, it's time to replace the brake pads. If you don't, you may expose the metal backing. This will cause immense damage to your braking system.

How Do I Know When My Vehicle Needs Brake Pad Replacement?

If your brake pad lining gets dangerously thin, you may hear a squealing noise every time you step on the brakes. This is because most brake pads have a built-in wear indicator. However, it's always better to be proactive when it comes to your safety, which is why we recommend having regular brake inspections at Colonial Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. As part of these inspections, our technicians will measure your brake pads' thickness and let you know if they need to be replaced soon.
