Brake pads and linings are arguably the most critical component of your vehicle’s braking system. They are the friction-generating material essential for slowing down or stopping your vehicle completely.
At CBS Clutch, we prioritize your safety by providing expert brake services and using only high-quality replacement parts.
How Your Braking System Works :
Your vehicle’s brakes operate on the principle of friction. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic force is transmitted through the brake lines to the calipers.
The calipers then clamp the brake pads/linings against the brake discs (rotors), generating the necessary friction to transmit force to the wheels and slow the vehicle.
A typical braking system includes: Brake Pads/Linings(the friction material), Brake Discs(Rotors), Brake Calipers, Brake Lines, Master Cylinder
Signs You Need Brake Pad Replacement:
Worn brake pads are a serious safety hazard. It is crucial to be aware of the warning signs that indicate it’s time for a professional inspection or brake pad replacement.
Warning Sign Description
Immediate Action Loud Squealing or Squeaking is often the first sign, caused by the built-in wear indicators on the pads. Schedule an inspection soon.
Grinding Noise: A severe sign that the friction material is completely worn, and metal is grinding against metal. Stop driving immediately and seek service.
Pulsation/Vibration: A shuddering feeling through the brake pedal, often a sign of warped rotors. Requires immediate attention and brake repair.
Longer Stopping Distance: Your vehicle takes more time and space to slow down or stop. Requires immediate attention.
Excessive Pedal Travel: The brake pedal feels "soft" or requires you to press it closer to the floor to engage the brakes. Requires immediate attention.
Sticking to the service schedule as per your manufacturer’s specifications is the best way to maintain optimal brake performance.
However, if you notice any of the signs above, don’t delay. Our professional, certified technicians at CBS Clutch workshops are equipped to handle all your braking needs:
