Brake Pads

Brake pads work with disc braking systems. Healthy brake pads are essential for the safe slowing and stopping of your car. They are made from very durable materials but have to withstand constant use and extremely high levels of friction and heat, so will naturally wear over time. You can check your car's brake pads by looking through the spaces between the wheel spokes. If you can see the pads there should be at least 3 millimetres of pad easily visible - less than this and you should change your brake pads. Squealing, screeching or clicking noises when you press the brake pedals can also indicate that the pads need checking by a mechanic. Some modern cars have brake pad sensors fitted that will light up a warning light when the pads need replacing.
