As we said, the brake pad is one of the important parts in the braking system, and its failure can be very dangerous. A damaged brake pad increases the stopping distance of the car. This means that the complete stop of the car will take much longer than you think and will cause accidents and accidents; Therefore, it will be very important to pay attention to the health of the brake pads.
Also, the pad is a consumable part and after a certain operation, depending on the driving conditions, it wears out and must be replaced. In the following, we will learn about the signs of car brake pad failure. The list of the most important signs of car brake pad failure are:
Whistling pad
Hear the sound of snoring
Pad wear
Car deflection when braking
Abnormal lowering of the pedal
Turning on the brake oil light
Turning on the handbrake light when moving
Hearing a knock when braking
Failure to stop the car
oiling the pads Hitting the brake pedal
Factors that shorten the life of brake pads
As it was said, the pads have a certain life and after some time they must be replaced, but this period depends on the driving conditions and there are factors that can reduce the life of the pads: Driving in traffic If you drive more in traffic, the life of the pads will decrease due to multiple braking. Bad driving habits Aggressive driving with rapid accelerations and frequent braking shortens the life of the pads. Carrying a lot of cargo and passengers When the weight of the car is heavy, more pressure is applied to the pads when braking.
At the end, it should be noted that the front pads wear out earlier than the rear pads because the load of braking and stopping the car is on The front axle is centered; Therefore, the front pads are more important than the rear pads, but this does not mean to ignore the rear pads.
