Brake Pad Replacement in Gastonia, NC

New Ford Brake Pads in Gastonia, NC

The brake pads on your vehicle are made from a friction material which is bonded to the steel backing on the disc brake. Every time you press down on the brake pedal, the disc closes in on the rotor, applying friction and pressure to stop the motion of the wheel. Bringing several thousand pounds of metal and plastic to a complete stop takes a lot of energy. So, it’s only natural that over time, that brake pad will start to wear out, making brake pad replacement a sensible solution.

Replacing My Brake Pads

Most mechanics recommend replacing your brake pads when they get down to about 2mm in thickness. That may sound like a thin margin, but brake pads are quite strong and will be able to last long enough to get your vehicle into the shop, even at this very thin margin. Typically, a brake pad replacement is necessary about every 10,000 miles. You’ll know you’ve waited too long when you start to hear a loud scraping or squealing sound when you apply the brakes. At this point, your brakes will still work, but you’ll have started causing damage to the rotor.

Getting New Brake Pads On Time is Important

If you go too long when your brake pads need to be replaced, you’ll start to damage the steel backing disc. This can be repaired if the damage isn’t too extensive by resurfacing the rotor. But the purpose of replacing the pad is to avoid damaging your brake hardware and having to go to the extra expense. Having your brake pads replaced on time will save you time, money, and help ensure your Ford car or truck is safe to drive under any conditions.
