What are Brake Pads?
Brake pads are a component of disc brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake pads are composed of steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disc brake rotors.
When you push the brake pedal, the piston hits the calliper. Hydraulic fluid in the calliper pushes brake pads towards the brake disc. Thus, the friction between pads and rotor reduces the vehicle's speed. The following steps will enable you to understand how disc brakes work:
- When you push the brake pedal, a cylinder gets activated and sends brake fluid via hoses towards the callipers.
- The callipers focus on engaging your brake pads.
- The brake pads put pressure on the rotor that is connected with every wheel.
- This pressure generates friction that slows your vehicle down. With the rotor's slowing down, the wheels' speed also gets reduced.
- When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the brake fluid will go back to the hoses, and the car will start to move again.
Types of Brake Pads
Semi-Metallic
These brake pads are 30 to 65 percent metal and are considered to be very durable. These brake pads may also not function well in extreme, low temperatures. These brake pads are less expensive and easier on the rotors than ceramic brake pads, but that they are louder and do not last as long as ceramics. These brake pads are generally used on high performance and race cars.
Ceramic
These brake pads are generally the most expensive, but are cleaner and produce less noise than other materials. Ceramic brake pads last longer than semi-metallics as well. Autos.com says ceramics outperform organic pads.
Low-Metallic
These brake pads are known to be noisy and to let off a lot of brake dust. However, the copper or steel that is used in these pads helps with heat transfer and breaking.
Non-Asbestos Organic
These brake pads are generally made from organic materials including fiber, glass, rubber, and Kevlar. These pads are pretty quiet, but can wear faster and produce a lot of brake dust.

Factors That Affecting Brake Pad Life
Brake Pad Material
While each one of these will work on any vehicle, you get what you pay for. The least expensive options are metallic and semi metallic. With the advances in brakes and difference in cost, metallic brakes have become almost obsolete. For the longest lasting option on the market, ceramic is the best choice.
How You Use The Brakes
If you are a ride the break type of driver, you will obviously notice that you have to replace brake pads much more frequently. One of the best practices you can do is coast and maintain a distance. Coasting will allow you to maintain speed, which is nice for MPG’s, but it will also help with the longevity of your brakes.
A Caliper Malfunction
If a caliper is stuck, a brake pad will constantly be rubbing the rotor. It will in turn run down a brake pad very quickly. It can also affect the rotors as well. If you are having a burning smell coming from your brakes, it is entirely possible that a stuck caliper is causing a problem, and will end up needing replacement as well as brake pad replacements. This issue will keep occurring if the caliper problem is not corrected.
Manual vs. Automatics, The Usage Difference
Manual drivers will drive much differently than those who have an automatic. This is in large part due to being able to downshift to slow a vehicle. This is called engine braking. Automatics don’t have this same luxury and require using the brakes any time they need to slow down or stop. In general, if a person is a good at driving a manual, they potentially can see brake pads last much longer than that of an automatic vehicle.
Putting New Brake Pads on Bad Rotors
As fascinating as it may be to just put new brake pads on when they need to be changed. If you are told that your rotors need a replacement, it is an expense you should have done. A warped or worn out rotor can wear down brake pads quickly. So while you think you are saving money just replacing the pads, it will cost you more, because the brake pads are going to need to be changed much sooner. In addition to brake pad wear, a warped or worn rotor can also affect your stopping ability.
Trigger Happy on the Brake Pedal
Often when people are driving along, the person in front of them will apply their brake. For some reason or another, an instant thought of having to use the brake hits. Even if it is not necessary to do so, some people’s reaction is just to do what the person ahead of them does. Instead, as you are driving, maintain a healthy distance between you and the car in front, and only brake when you need to, and not just because you are following the leader.
Invest in Quality Brake Pads
Put simply, you get what you pay for. Brake pads play an integral role in stopping your vehicle and because braking is a commonly performed action, investing in quality brake pads will ensure your safety and longer duration between replacement brake pads. Your vehicle maintenance technician will be able to recommend the best brake pads for your particular make and model.
Coast Before Using Your Brake Pedal
Coasting is a driving technique that involves taking your foot off the accelerator and letting your vehicle slow down naturally before applying the brakes. Since braking at higher speeds causes more wear on your brake pads, it benefits your car (and your brake pads) to allow your vehicle to slow down before using your brakes.
Lighten Your Load
The heavier your vehicle, the harder it is on your brakes to stop your vehicle. Consider keeping only the essentials in your vehicle to avoid any unnecessary weight, and be aware of the weight of any modifications or aftermarket equipment you install to avoid premature wear on your brake pads.
Avoid Heavy or Sudden Braking
Drivers who slam on their brakes or suddenly brake frequently will have to replace their brake pads more often than those who practice coasting or allow for enough space to gradually brake. We’ve all encountered tailgaters and people who approach the rear of our vehicles too quickly. Be mindful of the space between you and other vehicles, and your brake pads will last longer.
Flush Your Brake Fluid Regularly
Flushing your brake fluid regularly every two years or 25,000 miles will help your brakes and brake pads last longer. Because added moisture naturally occurs over time, it can lead to internal corrosion, causing a braking system failure.
Four Signs You Should Replace Your Brake Pads
If you hear loud screeching noises when you are braking, this is your brake pad’s wear indicator telling you that it is time to replace your brake pads.
If you hear grinding noises when you are braking, this means your pads have worn down and you are now hearing your brake rotor and caliper rubbing together. In addition to replacing your brake pads, you may need to replace your rotors as well.
If your brake pedal or steering wheel is shaking when you brake, this could be due to warped rotors. Warped rotors can be machined or “turned”, but in general, replacing your rotors and pads is better for the overall safety of your vehicle.
Whenever the dashboard brake indicator light turns on, it means either the hydraulic fluid (brake fluid) in the master cylinder is low, or the parking brake is engaged. If your car leaks too much brake fluid, your brakes could fail.
How to Choose Brake Pad Material?
The most important characteristics that are considered when selecting a brake pad material are as follows:
The material's ability to resist brake fade, caused by an increase in temperature the material will experience from the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy.
The effects of moisture on brake fade. All brakes are designed to withstand at least temporary exposure to water.
The ability to recover quickly from increased temperature or moisture, and exhibit approximately the same friction levels at any point in the drying or cooling process.
The friction coefficient of modern brake pads should be low enough prevent locking of the wheels but high enough to provide sufficient stopping power. Friction coefficients are typically between 0.3 and 0.5 for brake pad materials.
The ability to resist wear due to friction, but not to the extent that rotor wear occurs more quickly than brake material is sacrificed.
The ability of the material to provide smooth and even contact with the rotor or drum, instead of a material that breaks off in chunks or causes pits, dents, or other damage to the surface in contact.
The ability to apply appropriate frictional force while also operating quietly.
Troubleshooting: Brakes Not Working Well
Soft Pedal
The brake pedal is easy to push but there is less braking:
● Low brake fluid
● Air in brake fluid
● Bad master cylinder
● Bad caliper/wheel cylinder
● Blown brake line
● Bad residual valve
● Fluid leak in system
● Boiled brake fluid
● Bad wheel bearing
The first thing to check with any brake issue is the fluid level and condition in the master cylinder reservoir. If there is a leak somewhere the fluid level may be so low as to make even the redundant system ineffective. If there is fluid, but it is below the full indication, that may indicate that the friction material on the pads or shoes,or the rotors or drums themselves, may be worn beyond effectiveness.
If there is plenty of fluid in evidence, check if it is hot; repeated hard use, towing, descending a steep hill, or a dragging caliper can boil the fluid. DOT 3 brake fluid should not boil until it gets above 400 degrees Fahrenheit, but old brake fluid that has absorbed water can boil at as little as 284 degrees, which is why it needs to be changed every other year.
Brake hydraulics are a sealed system, so there should not be air in the lines, but if after service you have a sponge pedal that is the most likely cause. A bad master cylinder can introduce air into the lines, as can a failure at a caliper or wheel cylinder. The residual valve (often in the master cylinder or proportioning valve) keeps a small amount of pressure in the brake lines so the pedal doesn't have to travel so far until initial engagement; a failure here can be difficult to pinpoint.
Hard Pedal
It takes much more pressure to get the same amount of pedal travel and braking force:
● Bad power booster
● Vacuum hose leak
● Bad check valve
● Collapsed vacuum hose
● Seized caliper
● Extremely worn brake pads
Most instances of a hard pedal come down to a failure in the power boost system, whether vacuum based or hydro-boost (used mostly on diesels, we won't be covering it here). The power booster uses engine vacuum to assist your leg when applying the brakes, and is nearly universal in modern cars. If it the booster, check valve, or vacuum hose is bad, it will likely also cause a vacuum leak and rough engine idle as well, but an engine with a bad valve or head gasket can also cause low vacuum which can effect the brake boost.
Another cause of a hard brake pedal can be a brake caliper that is stuck or seized. Typically a seized caliper or pads will cause a burning smell, a pull to one side, and dragging at one wheel, but it is possible for it to stick without those, and effectively lessening your braking by nearly half (if it is a front wheel, which provide 75% of the braking). Wearing your pads down to the metal baking plates will also result in a very "wooden" brake pedal as well, as there is not as much friction when it is metal on metal, and they have to clamp harder to slow you down; the horrible grinding noise is usually an indication before the hard pedal.
Changing Your Brake Pads: A Step-by-Step Guide
Gather Tools, Materials
The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have your tools and new brake pads handy. As far as tools, you’ll want to round up a jack and jack stands, a lug wrench, C-clamp or caliper spreader tool, and a basic tool set. In addition to your new brake pads, consider picking up a can of brake fluid in case the tank needs to be topped off after you’re done.
Remove the Tire
Start by loosening the lug nuts on one of your front-side wheels, and then jack the car up. Slide a jack stand under the frame to support the vehicle, and then fully loosen and remove the lug nuts so that you can take the tire off. Once you remove the tire, you should see and have access to the brake assembly.
Take Out the Slider Bolts, then Lift the Caliper
Once you’ve removed both bolts, you can remove the caliper completely - just be sure that you don’t disconnect any of the lines. Once the caliper is out of the way, you’ll be able to see the brake pads. If the friction is one-eighth of an inch or less at any part of the pad, then it needs to be changed.
Remove the Old Pads, Clips
Slide the old brake pads out and then remove the abutment hardware. Many new brake pads come with new abutment hardware, but if your pads do not, the old hardware should be cleaned and inspected thoroughly. The new abutment should easily snap into place in the same spot where you removed the old ones.
Address the Pistons
Before the brake pads can be installed, you’ll need to squeeze the pistons back into the caliper. This needs to be done before lowering the calipers into place so that they’re adequately able to clear the thicker, new pads that have been installed. You can use a C-clamp to perform this on simple single-piston calipers.
Keep an Eye on Your Brake Fluid
Retracting the pistons often causes the level in the brake fluid to increase. You’ll want to keep watch on the brake fluid reservoir and remove some fluid if levels look they might get too high.
Install Your New Brake Pads
A small amount of disc brake lubricant should be applied between the pads and abutment hardware, and anywhere else there is metal to metal contact between the pad and caliper, being careful not to get grease on the friction surface of the pad or rotor. The pads can now be installed into the caliper.
Slide the Caliper Back Into Place, Put the Wheel Back on
Once the brake pads are installed in the caliper, the caliper can be replaced in its normal position on the vehicle. Next, replace the slider bolts. And finally, you’ll conclude the changing of the brake pads by putting the wheel back onto the vehicle.

Q: How do I know when my brake pads need replacing?
b.Grinding Sound When Braking. As we stated above, if you're experiencing a grinding noise while you're applying pressure to the brake pedal, your brake pads need to be replaced ASAP.
c.Vibration When Braking. If you feel your car shaking when you press the brake pedal, it means that there's something wrong with the brakes.
d.Taking Longer To Stop. Another major sign that your brakes need to be checked out is loss of performance when applying the brakes.
