Buy Brake pad set and repair your car affordably

Function and service life of brake pads / brake lining

Every vehicle has brake discs and brake pads, and brake pads can also be referred to as brake blocks. They are attached to the brake caliper and during braking press against the disc brake so that the speed drops. The brake pads are wearing parts, because they wear out when the brakes press on the brake discs. So, when should you change the brake pads on your car? The brakes, which are on the front axle, are constantly in use and therefore should be replaced every 30,000 to 45,000 kilometres. The rear brake pad set is less stressed and only needs to be replaced every 60,000 kilometres. Take note of the following: The more the brake pads are worn, the less effective they are. TRW, JURID, VALEO, BOSCH, BREMBO, LPR and NK belong to some of the leading manufacturers.

How do you know if the brake pads need to be replaced?

Modern vehicles are equipped with brake pads which are equipped with a wear indicator, which sends a signal when it is time to replace the brake pads. This wear indicator is a sensor which is fitted with a wire. When it comes into contact with the brake disc, a ground contact occurs and a light will light up on the dashboard. The pads can be replaced without needed to replace the disc, but if a brake disc needs replacing before the pads are worn, both pads and discs must be replaced at the same time. The brake linings should also always be replaced in pairs, because otherwise there performance will be different and that could be fatal.

Replacing and buying brake pads

Although you don’t need to buy the original brake pads, you still need to make sure that the brake pads conform to EU standards. This means that the wear rate can only have a deviation rate of +/- 15%. Furthermore, the replacement part must come in a sealed box and the vehicle type must be indicated on the packaging. In addition to this, a large E will show the test number. Also, no brake pads can contain asbestos.
