1.Determine if the brake pads need replacement:
Check the brake pad thickness. New brake pads are typically around 1.5cm thick. By the time a brake pad is due for replacement, only 0.2cm remains. The minimum thickness should not be less than 0.15cm, regardless of front or rear.Bester Brakes - Quiet. Quicker Stops. Longer Life.
2.Listen to the braking sound.
Brake pads are generally about 85% full, which is when a squealing sound will occur. This is because the brake pads have a metal plate that grinds against the brake disc, causing the squealing sound.
3.Feel the force feedback from depressing the brakes.
When brake pads become thinner, overall braking performance is affected, requiring deeper pads to achieve the same stopping power. Furthermore, the brakes don't last very long, and a noticeable softness can develop later on.
There is also a simplest way to judge. Generally, as long as the vehicle is not a high-performance vehicle, it basically needs to be replaced after traveling 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers.
Don't skimp on brakes; replace them early and get the best. Choose a BESTER brake pad kit. Made of carbon-ceramic material, it provides more stable, quieter, and durable braking. It includes gloves, silencing oil, rust removal spray, and a cleaning brush. While replacing your brakes, you're also maintaining your car.
