What are the issues that need to be considered when purchasing brake pads?
The application of brake pads has some advantages such as a relatively long service life and the ability to balance the braking distance. But now there are many types of friction plates on the market, and the quality of different brands of friction plates is also different. Now Hualong Friction Xiaobian will introduce some methods for purchasing the quality of brake pads.
Genuine brake pads look smooth and clean, with excellent materials, not too hard or too soft, and have the advantages of being able to balance the braking distance and have a long service life. The quality of brake pads is mainly determined by the material used, so it is difficult to distinguish good from bad with the naked eye, and car owners are often fooled. Identifying genuine brake pads requires specialized knowledge and skills to test them out, but there are still some small differences that allow us to distinguish the authenticity of brake pads. The following editor will explain some important distinction details:
Look at the packaging. The packaging of original accessories is generally more standardized, with unified standard specifications, and the printing is clear and regular, while the packaging and printing of fake and inferior products are relatively poor, and it is often easy to find flaws from the packaging;
2. Look at the color. The surface of some original accessories specifies a certain color, and if it meets other colors, it is a counterfeit spare part;
3. Look at the appearance. The appearance of original accessories is printed or cast and marked clearly and formally, while the appearance of fake and inferior products is rough;
4. Look at the paint. Unscrupulous businessmen simply process waste parts, such as dismantling, assembling, assembling, assembling, painting, etc., and then sell them as qualified products, illegally obtaining high profits;
5. Look at the texture. The materials of the original accessories are qualified materials according to the design requirements, and the fake and inferior products are mostly replaced by cheap and inferior materials;
6. Look at the craftsmanship. Although the appearance of inferior products is sometimes good, due to poor manufacturing technology, cracks, sand holes, slag inclusions, burrs or bruises are prone to appear;
7. Look at storage. If the brake pads have problems such as cracking, oxidation, discoloration or aging, it may be caused by poor storage environment, long storage time, and poor material itself.
8. Look at the engagement. If the rivets of the brake pads are loose, degummed, the joints of electrical parts are desoldered, and the seams of the paper filter element are detached, etc., it cannot be used.
9. Look at the logo. Some regular parts are marked with certain marks. Pay attention to the production license and the designated friction coefficient mark on the package. The quality of products without these two marks is difficult to guarantee.
10. Look for gaps. Regular assembly components must be complete and intact to ensure smooth installation and normal operation. Individual small parts on some assembly parts are missing, usually "parallel imports", which make installation difficult. Often due to the shortage of individual small parts, the entire assembly parts are scrapped.
