How often do you change the brake pads? The correct answer is coming!
The brake pad is one of the important components of the brake system
It plays a very important role in ensuring vehicle safety
Today, let's talk about the brake pads
Let everyone have a deeper understanding of their car
#What is a brake pad
Brake pads are also called brake friction pads. In the automobile braking system, the brake pad is the most critical safety part. The brake pad plays a decisive role in all braking effects. A good brake pad is the protector of people and cars
The working principle of braking is to use the friction between the brake pad and the brake disc (drum) and the tire and the ground to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into the heat energy after friction and stop the vehicle. If the brakes fail, the consequences will be unimaginable.
#How often to replace the brake pads
Theoretically, the car needs to be replaced every 50000 kilometers. However, in actual vehicles, the replacement time may be advanced or delayed.
How to judge whether the brake pad needs to be replaced
>>Look at the thickness
Normally, the thickness of the brake pad is about 1.5cm. When the thickness of the front wheel brake pad reaches the limit value of 0.2cm and the thickness of the rear wheel brake pad reaches the limit value of 0.15cm, we need to replace it in time.
By direct observation with the naked eye, there will still be errors, and the inner brake pad is sometimes difficult to see, so it is best to go to the service station and ask the master to help detect.
>>Listen to the sound
When you brake gently, you hear the "creak" metal friction sound, which may be that the brake pad has exceeded the limit of use, so you must check it as soon as possible.
>>Feeling strength
When the brake pads become thinner, the braking effect will also be affected. You need to step on the brake pedal to a deeper position to achieve the original braking effect. During this period, I feel that the braking effect is obviously attenuated, or I feel that the brake has become soft, and even I can't brake a little.
