The dangers of worn disc brake pads

When a brake pad is over worn and not replaced in time, not only does brake fade set in and vehicle stopping distance extend, the wear on your disc rotor or disc brake may also require machining or replacement so brake pads should be replaced at the first sign of wear or, when that brake pedal does not seem to be effective as you would like. As the driver of your vehicle any of the symptoms of poor braking performance should be addressed by inspecting your brake pads and braking components. When doing this, or replacing your brake pad, also make sure you inspect your brake caliper for any leaks and brake fluid as a starting point.

Low brake fluid can contribute to poor braking performance, if your vehicle is using fluid then a leak in your caliper piston or brake system could be the culprit. It is more typical to need to replace the front brake pads on your vehicle more often due to the braking load distribution when stopping however make sure the rear brake pads are also inspected whenever you are doing your next brake pad replacement.

Choosing the right brake pads enabling performance under tougher conditions or at higher temperatures will not only afford you better stopping capability and less wear on other braking components, brake pads that are designed for your intended driving style will also delay brake fade and wear on your disc rotor surface giving you overall better value in the long run.
