What are Car Brake Pads?

In disc-brake systems, the brake pads are the friction material the caliper squeezes against the rotating disc, or rotor, to slow the wheel’s rotation and stop the car. In drum brakes, the pads are called shoes. Subject to tremendous friction and heat, brake pads wear down and must be replaced as part of a car’s regular maintenance. How long they last depends both on the car’s design and how it is driven.

Structure of a Disc Brake Pad

Brake pads have a sandwich-type construction:

The Brake Pad Plate
The brake pad plate forms the basis of the brake pad. It must hold the brake pad in the brake calliper and pass the temperature to the neighbouring components.

Damping
Most brake pads feature damping on the reverse side in the form of springs, foils, sheet steel or paint/varnish, designed to reduce the noise generated during braking.

Intermediate Layer and Friction Material
An intermediate layer and the actual friction material are pressed onto the brake pad plate between the brake pad and the brake disc. An adhesive layer just a few µm thick is applied between the brake pad plate and the underlayer. This ensures a secure connection between the plate and the intermediate layer/friction material.

Difference Between Front and Back Brake Pads

Front Brakes
Most vehicles are designed to have a larger front brake pad versus the rear brake pad as the front wheels do the majority of the braking. This means that the front brake pads may wear more quickly than the rear. Front pads typically cannot be used on the rear of the vehicle and vice versa.

Rear Brakes
Rear brake pads are typically smaller in size versus the front and they may wear less quickly. Not all vehicles have rear brake pads as often small vehicles and commercial-type feature a drum-style rear brake which utilises a different brake design. If you are unsure what type of brakes your vehicle has, please contact an expert.

Materials of Car Brake Pads

Non-Metallic Materials

They are made from a combination of several synthetic materials bonded into a compound, primarily in the form of cellulose, aramid, and sintered glass. They are gentle on rotors, but produce a fair amount of dust, thus having a little service life.

Semi-Metallic Materials

Synthetics mixed with varying quantities of flaked metals. These are way stronger than non-metallic pads, are more fade-resilient and longer lasting, but at the cost of increased wear and tear to the rotor which then must be replaced sooner. They also require more activating force than non-metallic pads in order to generate braking force.

Fully Metal Material

These pads are used only in racing vehicles, and are made up of sintered steel without any synthetic additives. They are long-lasting, but need way more force to slow a vehicle while wearing off the rotors faster. They also tend to be very loud.

Ceramic Material

They are composed of clay and porcelain fused to copper flakes and filaments, these are a good compromise between the durability of the metal pads, grip and fade resistance of the synthetic variety. Because the ceramic materials cause the braking sound to be higher beyond that of human hearing, they are extremely quiet.

Final Solution

Your Car Vibrates When Braking

If you feel vibrations in your car when you apply the brakes, it may be a sign of worn brake pads. Vibrations can indicate uneven wear on the pads or warped rotors, which may require a brake pad replacement.

You Hear Squeaking or Squealing When Braking

If you hear squeaking or squealing noises when you apply the brakes, it's likely a sign that your brake pads are worn down and need to be replaced. Squeaking or squealing can be caused by the brake pad wear indicator, which is designed to make noise when the brake pads are too thin.

Your Car Takes Longer to Stop

If you notice that your car takes longer to come to a complete stop when you apply the brakes, it may be a sign of worn brake pads. Reduced braking performance can be dangerous and may require immediate brake pad replacement to ensure safe driving.

Factors that Influence Brake Pad Lifespan

Brake Pad Material
Ceramic brake pads generally last longest over semi-metallic and organic pads.

Driving Conditions
Brakes are used more often when driving in high traffic and urban areas than on free-flowing highways or quiet, open roads. Mountainous roads and hilly terrain also require more braking which causes faster wear and tear due to more friction and heat.

Driving Style
Riding the brakes (depressing the pedal more than necessary) causes them to wear prematurely.

Vehicle Make and Model
Larger, heavier vehicles and commercial trucks are sold with more heavy-duty brakes since they’re expected to carry a heavier load than passenger cars, and high-performance cars come with high-performance brakes because they’re pushed to the limit. If you push your car that is made for general everyday driving over the limitations it was designed for, you’re bound to chew through brake pads a lot faster.

Things to Consider Before Buying Brake Pads

Type of Brake Pads
There are several types of brake pads available, such as ceramic, organic, and metallic. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the one that best suits your driving style and needs.

Compatibility
Not all brake pads are compatible with every type of vehicle. Make sure to check the specifications of the brake pads to ensure they are compatible with your car or truck.

Quality

The quality of the brake pads is crucial for safety and performance. Look for trusted brands and read reviews from other customers to ensure you’re purchasing a quality product.

Price

While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest brake pads available, it’s important to remember that quality often comes with a higher price tag. Look for brake pads that offer a good balance of price and quality.

Driving Conditions

Consider the type of driving you do and the conditions you encounter on a regular basis. For example, if you do a lot of highway driving, you may want to consider brake pads that are designed for high-speed performance.

Noise and Dust

Some types of brake pads produce more noise and dust than others. If these factors are important to you, look for brake pads that are designed to minimize noise and dust production.

How Brake Pad Manufactured?

Raw Friction Material: Friction material is the most important for a brake pad. The different factories have their own formula. The formula determines the quality of the products. According to the classification, there are mainly 4 kinds of formulas. Metallic, semi-metallic, ceramic, NAO disc pad formula.

Steel Back Plate: There are many kinds of backplates for disc brake pads, hole back plate, wire mesh back plate, cast iron back plate, NRS back plate. In order to get a clean back plate without oil and rust, the back plate must be shot blasting before use. then apply glue on the steel back plate surface.

Hot Press Process: Forming friction materials into a brake pad. Adhering of backing plate with friction material by heat and pressure.

Curving: After curving, the formed friction material can reach an ideal brake performance. This is a key process.

Grooving, Slotting and Chamfering on the Brake Pad: To fit the disc brake rotors well. Reduce noise and improve dust.

Painting: Spraying the powder on brake pad. Automatic painting production line.

How to Change Brake Pads, Step by Step

Remove the Wheel.
Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel. Then jack up the car and place a jack stand under the jack points, near the car's frame. Lower the floor jack so its weight rests on the jack stand. Fully remove the lug nuts and remove the wheel. You now have access to the brake assembly and can safely reach under the car.

Remove the Slider Bolt.
Find the two slider bolts (sometimes called "pins") that hold the caliper in place. It's generally only necessary to remove the lower bolt. It can be long but once it is fully loosened, it will slide out easily.

Pivot the Caliper Up.
With the bottom bolt removed, the brake caliper pivots up. The rubber hose, which is the hydraulic line, will flex to allow this so do not disconnect any hydraulic brake lines. At this point, it is very easy to inspect the thickness of the brake pads to confirm that they need to be changed.

Slide Out the Old Brake Pads.
The brake pads are now exposed and the retaining clips hold them loosely in place. Simply slide the old brake pads out.

Replace the Retaining Clips.
New pads almost always come with new clips, which allow the pads to slide back and forth easily. There are no retaining screws for the clips. They just snap in place. There are usually left-handed and right-handed clips, so change one at a time, making sure they match up exactly as you go.

Slide in the New Brake Pads.
The new pads slide into place as easily as the old ones did when they came out, though sometimes the new clips will be tighter. The ears of the new pads should slot nicely into place on the brake grease you applied.

Retract the Pistons.
Before you can lower the caliper into place, these pistons need to be retracted (pushed back) so that they will clear the new, thicker brake pads.

Monitor the Brake Fluid Level.
When you push the pistons back, the brake fluid level slowly rises. Open the master cylinder reservoir and check it often.

Reposition the Caliper.
With the pistons retracted, the caliper should slip over the pads with little effort. Sometimes the fit is tight and the caliper will slide on the newly installed brake pads.

Reinstall the Slider Bolt.
Reinstall and retighten the slider bolt. Straighten the car's wheels, remount the tire, and tighten the lug nuts.

Test-Drive Under Safe Conditions.
Test-drive the car under safe conditions to make sure everything is working properly, being especially careful for the first few stops.

Precautions for Brake Pads Using

Under normal driving conditions, the brake shoe shall be inspected every 5000 km, not only the remaining thickness, but also the wear condition of the shoe, whether the wear degree of both sides is the same, and whether the return is free. In case of any abnormality, it must be handled immediately.

The brake shoe is generally composed of steel back plate and friction materials. Do not replace it only after the friction materials are worn out. Some vehicles are equipped with brake shoe alarm function. Once the wear limit is reached, the instrument will give an alarm and prompt to replace the brake shoe. The shoes that have reached the service limit must be replaced. Even if they can be used for a period of time, the braking effect will be reduced and the driving safety will be affected.

Professional tools must be used to Jack back the brake cylinder when replacing the shoe. It is not allowed to press back with other crowbars, which will easily lead to bending of the guide screw of the brake caliper and jamming of the brake pad.

After replacing the brake pad, be sure to step on the brake several times to eliminate the gap between the brake pad and the brake disc. Generally speaking, after the brake shoe is replaced, there is a period of running in period with the brake disc to achieve the best braking effect. Therefore, the newly replaced brake pads must be driven with caution.

Common Problems of Brake Pads Backing Plates

Q: How do I know if I need new brake pads?

A: Squeaking or squealing coming from brakes.
Grinding sound when braking.
Vibration when braking.
Taking longer to stop.
Brake pad indicator light comes on.
Your brake pads appear to be thin.

Q: Do cars have 2 or 4 brake pads?

A: In most cars, each caliper has one inner pad and one outer pad. That’s a total of four pads on a car with front disc brakes, and 8 on a car with front and rear brakes. New cars with electronic parking brakes often have separate parking brake calipers on the rear wheels. That’s another four pads.

Q: Is it OK to drive without brake pads?

A: The brake pads are just one aspect of a more extensive mechanism. They are the cushion against your brake rotors to create friction and slow down your wheels. Unfortunately, what happens when your car brake pads are worn out is it exposes the metal, and the metal on metal grinding can further damage the entire braking system through heat and possible breakage. So, driving with worn out brake pads is a risky game you don’t want to play.

Q: What happens if you drive with worn brake pads?

A: One of the first things you learn about when you start your driving endeavors is the mechanisms of the gas pedal and the brake. Driving with worn out brake pads can cause a slow response time when braking, leading to your car not braking quick enough. Therefore, getting your car into the service center is essential to get your brake pads replaced to have a worry-free driving experience. A potential car accident is what happens when your car brake pads are worn out.

Q: How long should car brake pads last?

A: The real answer to how long brake pads and shoes can last will vary from vehicle to vehicle and from driver to driver. For example, if you tend to drive the most often in urban areas or in heavy commuter traffic, you’ll be engaging your brakes a lot more frequently than someone who drives in rural locations or on highways. Some people also tend to “ride the brake,” meaning they press and depress their brakes more habitually than other drivers, causing the brake pads to wear away more quickly. Brake pads and shoes are generally thought to be good between 30,000-35,000 miles in urban use. In less demanding situations like highway driving in light traffic, brakes may last 80,000 miles or more.

Q: How many years do brake pads last?

A: Brake pads can last anywhere between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Their longevity depends on your driving style and typical driving conditions. Using data provided by Federal Highway Administration statistics on how many miles people drive annually, typical brake pads will last between 3 and 7 years.

Q: Should I replace all 4 brake pads at once?

A: Generally, your brake pads should all wear at the same time, which makes for an easy replacement. Typically, you should have both your front brake pads replaced at the same time, and your rear pads replaced at the same time, to ensure proper braking power. Of course, to make it easier on yourself with one simple visit, rather than two to four visits, you may want to replace all four brake pads at the same time.

Q: How to Tell I Need New Brake Pads?

A: The way you can tell is by listening out for a high-pitched squealing sound. Your brake pads have a metal tab that’s called a wear indicator, which is beneath the surface. When your brake pads have worn down completely, this metal tab will cause the sound when you apply pressure to your brake pedal. The squealing comes from the metal tab being forced against the rotor.

Q: Can I just replace brake pads?

A: Occasionally you can simply replace the pads, bleed the brakes and inspect the rest. Usually you need to also “turn the rotors” to smooth their surfaces. The rotor is chucked into a machine which cuts off the high parts making it almost mirror flat. You can get away without turning the rotors even if they are significantly grooved as long as the rotors have enough thickness left. But failing to turn the rotors will mean the brakes will not have as much power until the pads have worn to match.

Q: Can I just replace front brake pads?

A: The first thing to consider is that your brakes and rotors come in pairs -- the front and the rear. You can replace your brake pads in pairs (the front or the rear) at the same time or separately. If your front brake pads are in need of repair or replacement, your mechanic can fix this issue independently. It's also important to note that your front and rear brake pads wear at very different rates. The front brake pads do most of the work, causing them to wear faster and need replacement more often.

Q: What happens if you don't fix your brakes?

A: When brake pads become worn, it will be more difficult to stop the vehicle. If you suspect your brake pads are already worn or badly need a replacement, you should have them done expeditiously. Worn brake pads make driving more difficult. You may have to press your brake pedal down significantly harder to stop. This can put you, your passengers, and other drivers in immediate danger in an emergency braking situation.

Q: What happens if you don't break in new brake pads?

A: Failure to bed-in your brakes can lead to uneven buildup of film on the rotors resulting in "brake judder" - a vibration, sometimes severe, that will be felt through the steering wheel and suspension caused by the pads losing and regaining contact with the discs as they rotate, due to the uneven buildup.

Q: How should new brakes feel?

A: While you shouldn’t have to apply more force on the brake pads to stop during your commutes, new brakes can have a slightly “spongier” feel within the first couple hundred miles. New brakes can take some time to “seat” because the brake lining still needs to conform to the surface of the brake rotors.

Q: What causes brake pads to wear quickly?

A: If components of your braking system need replaced like your rotors and calipers, your brake pads are going to wear out quickly. Have your rotors and calipers inspected if your brake pads are wearing out faster than normal and buy replacement parts if needed.

Q: Which brakes to replace first?

A: Because your front brakes wear out much faster, we recommend replacing your brakes in repairs - front at one time, back at another time. You will likely need to replace your front brake pads sooner than your rear brake pads.

Q: How do front brakes work?

A: The front brakes are designed to be heavier and thicker thanks to Newton’s Law of Motion - the object in motion wants to stay in motion. When you are stopping and the vehicle’s weight shifts from the back to the front, the brakes absorb excessive friction and heat up to Fahrenheit 500. Your front brakes actually have larger and thicker rotors than rear brakes to withstand this.

Q: Are front or rear brakes more expensive?

A: Typically, front brakes will be more expensive to replace since they are bigger, whereas the rear brakes are simpler in design. However, if you are noticing a high price for your rear brake pad and rotor replacement, this is likely due to the labour cost, not the cost of the parts. Rear brakes can sometimes be more difficult to replace for mechanics where the higher labour price may originate.

Q: Do rear brakes last longer than the front?

A: Most cars now are FWD, and the front brakes do most of the braking and thus usually feature larger brake pads than a smaller thin set on the rear rotors. However, the fact your front brakes do most of the work isn’t necessarily because of FWD, it’s because of physics and the centre of gravity shifting forward. Your rear brakes will generally last longer than the front and you will need to replace them less often.

Q: Do you have to bleed brakes after changing pads?

A: Yes, you will need to bleed your car’s brakes after changing its brake pads. This helps to remove any dirt in the braking system. It’s common for people to open both the bleeder valve and squeeze calipers while changing the brake pads.

Q: Why do we bleed brakes?

A: The main reason for bleeding brakes is to make sure that they are operating at their full capacity. Over time, you may notice that when you apply your brake pedal, it feels ‘spongy’ or ‘soft’. Bleeding your brakes allows braking fluid to escape the system and release trapped air, so your brakes feel more responsive.

Q: How long does it take to bleed brakes?

A: Overall, it will take you anywhere between 30 and 40 minutes to bleed the brakes of your car, that’s around 10 to 15 minutes on each wheel. You’ll need to ask someone to assist you in the process, as it’s their responsibility to press the brake pedal as you’re bleeding the brakes.

Q: What happens if you don't grease brake pads?

A: Many people drive their cars without applying any lubrication to the brakes. That’s fine, but it will likely lead to more pad wear and tear. Meanwhile, when done correctly, greasing brake pads and calipers enhances the system’s performance. Because brakes have many moving parts, lubrication is critical to keeping everything running smoothly. Even new brakes should be greased.

Q: Do all 4 brakes work at the same time?

A: Yes, all 4 wheels always brake together, but the rear wheels receive less force than the front ones. When using your parking brake, only the 2 rear wheels get brake pressure. Unlike the pedal which applies to all, but more to the front.

Q: What happens if I drive my car with bad brake pads?

A: Your car's parts all work together as a system, and neglecting one part can lead to damage in other areas. For instance, if you drive with worn brake pads, it can cause damage to your tires and even to the entire braking system if your rotors are exposed.

Q: What is the operation of brake pads?

A: Simply put, brake pads contact your rotors and cause friction to slow and stop your car. Brake pads are part of a very interconnected system, a system that relies on each of its parts to function safely and successfully.

Q: What personal safety precautions should be taken when working with brake pads and linings?

A: Wearing some kind of rubber gloves to keep the brake dust off of your hands is a good idea. A particle respirator would also be good to prevent you from inhaling brake dust. You could probably use safety glasses as well to try to protect against brake dust and fluid getting in your eyes.

Q: What are the safety precautions when changing brake pads?

A: Safety first. Park the vehicle on a dry, flat surface and install wheel chocks. Be sure to wear safety goggles and protective gloves. Be careful when lifting the car. Use secure jack points for the jack and jack stands.

Q: What is the manufacturing process of brake pads?

A: The production process for brake pads is based on some basic phases: mixing, molding, and curing. The manner and technology through which these phases are executed lead to products with different quality levels and production rates. Blending has been underestimated till now.

Q: What are the raw materials for brake pads?

A: Mainly phenol resin is used currently. The stiffener gives the friction materials further intensity. Various kinds of organic and inorganic fibers, such as aramid fibers and metal fibers, are used.

Q: How are ceramic brake pads manufactured?

A: The production process of the ceramic brake body requires a preform pressed with binding resin to a so called green body which will be converted in the ceramic component by first carbonizing at 900 °C and second by liquid silicon infiltration (siliconization) at 1700 °C in vacuum athmosphere.
