The importance of the brake system is life-threatening, and brake pad brands and car manufacturers that manufacture related parts will naturally pay more attention to protecting consumers. Therefore, in fact, car owners do not have to worry too much about this problem, they only need to pay attention to it every day, when abnormal conditions occur, the car brake pad manufacturer recommends replacing the car brake pads. Generally speaking, the thickness of a new brake pad is about 2.5 cm. We can observe that our brake pads, when their thickness becomes smaller (about 0.5 cm), we need to replace the brake pads!

Analysis of brake pad replacement

80,000 kilometers, there are related regulations in the automobile factory standard, which means that when we drive about 80,000 kilometers, the brake pads will become thin due to wear. After that, we need to replace new brake pads to ensure our driving safety. Perhaps we see this. Many car owners are still confused. The editor can provide several common ways to check brake pads.

1. Wear warning lights

Some cars have special brake pad wear warning lights, and their brake pads are equipped with brake pad sensing lines. When the brake pad is worn to the position of the brake sensing line, the "brake pad wear warning light" will be lit on the dashboard. Friends, don't ignore this.

Since it is a worn part, the appearance of the brake pad will definitely change. The first is the thickness change. Brand new brake pads are usually about 1.5 cm thick, and then gradually become thinner during use. The thickness of the brake pad is about 0.5 cm, which means it needs to be replaced.

The feeling is also the favorite method of many old drivers. The normal use of the brake depends on the braking feeling when the brake is stepped on! If you find that the brakes are soft and have no braking force, you need to replace them!

2. There are usually grooves on the brake linings. When the groove and the plane are at the same level, that is, when the groove is about to disappear, it indicates that you need to replace the brake pads.

However, some models hide the brake pads inside. You may need to remove the tires to see. That is a big project, non-professionals should not try it.

3. Listening method

Listen to the sound, because our brake pads will rub against the brake system during braking, so after this period of time we can hear the sound of stepping on the brake, and then judge whether our brake system is normal and whether there is an unexpected sound, then We must replace it in time!
