Will rust on the brake pads affect it?
Oct 12, 2021
Cars are becoming more and more common, and they have completely become a means of transportation for people to go out. However, for some ordinary families, cars are still relatively expensive. Therefore, after buying a car, many families are very careful and pay attention to it. Maintenance and maintenance, but in general, car owners can only pay attention to the safety configuration and some relatively large accessories, and ignore some small accessories, such as the inconspicuous brake pads, although the accessories are small, they have a great effect.
There is no fixed time period for the replacement of brake pads. If you go to a 4S shop for maintenance, the operation management staff will say that the brake pads should be replaced without inspection. This is extremely irresponsible. Only the car's oil and filter element replacement cycle has a fixed, all other items to determine whether to check for replacement. Most of the distances to be replaced are between 30,000 and 80,000 kilometers, and there is still a big difference in the number of kilometers. If the brakes are more, change them early. If you run frequently, you will have less speed and change later. However, it is also related to the material of the brakes. The brake pads have time to change generally early. This is caused by the too soft brake pads.
If the vehicle management is not performed by yourself, but to a 4S shop or repair shop, then it is enough for the technician to check the thickness of the brake pads during each maintenance. The predictive ability is not enough to proceed to the next maintenance. At this time, the brake pads should be used. Replaced. Assuming that some cars are maintained by themselves, how do you think about it? We can look at the number of kilometers first. If the number of kilometers of the vehicle is very small, less than 30,000 kilometers, you can look at it by yourself. You can see the thickness of the brake pads by taking a flashlight. If it exceeds 30,000 kilometers, take a closer look and understand it by disassembling the tires. Each wheel has two brake pads, one outside and inside. Assuming that there is only a flashlight to patrol, only one can be seen from the outside. Most cars have the same degree of wear on the internal and external brake pads, but some cars are quite different.
After the tire is removed, the inner and outer brake pads can be clearly seen, and they can be seen accurately, because if you have little experience and look at it obliquely from the outside, it determines that the thickness is not very accurate. Generally, it is required to replace it when it is worn to 3 mm. If we still have 5 mm after removing it, we will take it apart and take a look at the next maintenance. Assuming that there is still 1 cm, it is obvious that the brake pads are still very thick, so there is no need to disassemble it next time. There is a warning disc. If the brake pad is worn to the limit, the brake pad will conflict with the brake. If you forget to watch the brake and make a sharp and different sound, lightly step on the brake. We should pay special attention to the sound made by the thin brake pad.
