Brake pads are purposefully designed to wear out over time in the protection of the other components. They can last a long time under favorable conditions but severe driving conditions can cause them to wear rapidly. Brake pads need to be replaced because they will wear out and replacing them is the only way to ensure that the braking system is functioning properly.
Warning Signs of Worn Brake Pads
Brake pads generally need to be changed when they measure a ¼ of an inch. They come with a warning tab that strikes the rotor to emit an audible screech at the point in which the risk of performance decline begins increasing. Hearing this noise should prompt you to schedule service but sometimes it goes unattended to allow for these warning signs:
Brake light is on
Squealing, grinding, or screeching noise when braking
Wobbles, vibrations, or scraping when braking
Spongy brake pedal that pushes closer to the floorboard
Pulling to a side when braking
Driving Tips for Helping Brake Pads Last Longer
Driving conditions and habits play a significant role in how fast brake pads wear out. By adjusting some habits, drivers can do their part in extending brake pad life. Here are four driving tips known to help extend the life of brake pads:
Avoid unnecessary hard stopping
Drive with the flow of traffic
Do not follow too closely to come to easy stops
Remove extra weight from the vehicle
Use low speed in heavy traffic to avoid hard braking
