Al Willeford Chevrolet understands that a little bit of automotive knowledge can go a long way. Being informed means saving money on costly repairs. Brake pads have one of the most important functions on your automobile. You should know how they work and also the signs to look for that could indicate it’s time to replace those brake pads.
There are brake pads on either side of your vehicle which use friction to bring your car to a stop. The pads are pressed against the rotor whenever you use the brakes. They form a sort of clamp which helps to slow the rotation of the wheel. When brake pads begin to fail your entire brake system can be affected. A grinding or groaning when you press the brake is a sign that replacement is needed.
