As one of the important components of vehicles, brake pads are an important guarantee for the stable function of the braking system.
With the increase of vehicle mileage and service life, the brake pads may become thinner and the Braking distance may gradually extend due to long-term wear.
So when the vehicle shows any "signs", it indicates that the brake pads should be replaced?
- The ear-piercing whistling sounded
When the vehicle brakes, if you hear harsh metal friction sound, you must pay special attention. It is very likely that the alarm iron plate on the brake pad has begun to wear the brake disc.
At this time, it is necessary to go to a professional maintenance organization for inspection and replacement as soon as possible. - Weakness when braking
After the brake pads are severely worn, the braking distance tends to be longer, and the braking effect in the first half of the journey will be significantly weakened.
At this time, the driver will obviously feel that the brake pedal becomes lighter and softer, and it needs to be pressed deeper to achieve the previous braking effect. At this time, the brake pads should be replaced as soon as possible. - The driving line deviates when braking
If everything is normal when the car is driving, but the deviation occurs when the brakes are applied heavily, it is often due to poor braking on one side of the wheel, and it may be that the brake pads are close to the wear limit and need to be replaced as soon as possible. - The brake oil is reduced and the brake fault light is on
When the brake pad wears more, the gap between the disc and the pad becomes larger. After the gap is automatically adjusted, the sub-cylinder tends to open. At this time, the sub-cylinder needs to replenish brake fluid. Then, the brake oil in the oil pot will inevitably decrease.
If there is oil leakage from the brake cylinder, after polluting the brake pads, immerse the brake pads and polish them with emery cloth, if there is still oil stains, at this time, no matter how thick it is, it must be replaced.
