Original MOPAR Brake Pads Online
If your vehicle has a disc brake system, it relies heavily on the factory brake pads. they protect the brake calipers and brake rotors from contacting each other and getting damaged when you're using your brakes.
How Brake Pads Work
When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder releases brake fluid to the calipers. The building pressure of the fluid causes the calipers to clamp onto the brake rotors. Since the calipers and rotors are both made of metal, they'd suffer lasting harm if they made direct contact. The brake pads attach to the calipers to prevent that contact and potential warping or cracking.
The Types of Brake Pads
Most cars and SUVs feature organic brake pads, since they're affordable, reliable, and easiest on the rotors. Trucks typically use either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic pads are firmer and batter at withstanding heat. Ceramic pads are quieter and usually perform better on wet roads. Lastly, you can choose carbon fiber brake pads. These are most often seen on sports cars and high-performance models, due to their tough, temperature-resistant nature.
How to Spot Faulty Brake Pads
Brake pads take a lot of abuse, so it's no surprise that they don't last forever. You can generally expect yours to need replacing after 40,000 to 50,000 miles, though that number can be vary depending on your driving style and the nature of your typical commute. Signs that your brake pads are going bad include:
- A vibrating or bouncing brake pedal
- You hear a squealing or squeaking noise coming from the brakes
- Your vehicle needs more distance and time to come to a stop
- You hear a grinding sound when you brake
- Your brake pedal feels soft or squishy
