Ensure driving safety: The main function of brake pads is to ensure driving safety. A properly functioning brake pad can stop a vehicle within a reasonable distance, thus preventing accidents. Whether it is slowing down at a traffic light or stopping suddenly to avoid an obstacle, brake pads are the key to achieving emergency braking.
Control vehicle speed: Brake pads control the speed and direction of the vehicle. Without them, braking will become unpredictable and the ability to drive on curves, stop at intersections or go downhill will be seriously affected.
Prevent damage to the brake system: Brake pads also serve as a protective barrier between the caliper and the brake disc or drum. Without brake pads, the metal parts of the brake system will rub against each other, causing serious damage and leading to expensive repairs. Replacing worn brake pads is much cheaper than replacing the entire brake system.
Provide efficient braking force: Over time, brake pads wear out due to the friction they generate. However, even when they are worn, they still provide consistent performance until they need to be replaced. This efficiency ensures that your vehicle can stop smoothly and reliably even in challenging driving conditions such as wet or icy roads.
Comfortable driving experience: Well-maintained brake pads can reduce vibration and noise when you apply the brakes, providing a good driving experience. Worn or poorly functioning brake pads can cause squealing, grinding or pulsating sensations, resulting in an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous driving experience.
