When should the brake pads be changed?
If the brakes feel soft and the braking distance increases, it is possible that the brake pads have basically lost friction and must be replaced at this time, otherwise a serious accident will occur.
The structure of the brake pad is roughly divided into: friction material layer, heat insulation layer, adhesive layer, and back plate.
When should the brake pads be changed?
Whether it's a disc brake pad or a drum brake pad, the manufacturer specifies a thickness of no less than 1.2mm because, by all practical measurements: before or after 1.2mm, the pad wears and peels faster . Therefore, the owner should check and replace the brake pads on the brakes at this time or before.
In general vehicles, under normal driving conditions, the service life of the front brake pads is 30,000-50,000 km, and the service life of the rear brake pads is 100,000-130,000 km.
