What are the symptoms of worn brake pads?

The brake pads are in charge of guaranteeing 70% of braking powerThey are therefore strongly solicited and can be damaged over time. When worn out, you will be able to report quickly because you meet one or more of the following events:

• An extension of the braking distance : The braking has lost in power, it therefore requires more time to slow down and completely immobilize the vehicle;
• The brake pedal began to vibrate : When you press it, you feel vibrate under your foot. If other elements of the braking system are defective as the brake fluid for example, the pedal can be completely soft;
• Road handling is less good : When traveling, you will feel your deflective vehicle when you brake the importance of braking;
• The brakes get blocked : Braking will become difficult whatever your speed where the road type on which you roll;
• The brake light is lit : On the most modern vehicles, a brake indicator is present. It is orange and has the shape of a circle surrounded by dotted line;
• Disturbing noises are emitted : When the brake pedal is pressed, you can hear squeaks or crosses from the brake pads.

What is the life of the brake pads?

The periodicity of change of brake pads will vary from one vehicle to another. This periodicity is available in the maintenance book of the car that contains all the recommendations of the manufacturer. On average, they have a life of 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Depending on the type of brakes, your vehicle, it will be necessary to change 2 if you have drum brakes on one of the axles or 4 if you have brake discs on each wheel.

However, if you observe unusual signs from your braking system and more particularly platelets, it will be necessary to change them immediately. It is the same when you perform the Replacing your brake discs, platelets must automatically be replaced. Indeed, as they fall into friction with the discs, they must be perfectly smooth when the disks are new.

What are the risks of rolling with HS brake pads?

If you realized that your brake pads were in bad but that you keep riding with these, you take significant risks such as:

• Deterioration of brake discs : As the brake pads are friction with the discs, they allow to protect them from heat. If they are ineffective, the brake discs will considerably wear out using the uses and the garage bill will be much higher because you will have to change the disks as well as the brake pads;
• Total failure of the braking system : If you use your brake pads until they are totally HS, the entire braking system will be unbalanced and there are great risks that your brakes do not work very well even more at all. This case is extremely dangerous because you no longer control your vehicle;
• An accident : When your brakes no longer walk, you represent a danger for the passengers of your vehicle and for other road users. Without control of the brakes, you can no longer manage the vehicle speed or its immobilization and the risk of accident is very high.
