Description

The Wabco 12182091 Disc Brake Pad 230 is a critical component of the braking system, designed to create friction against the brake rotor to slow or stop a vehicle. It is used in disc brake calipers within a variety of heavy-duty vehicles. This brake pad is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 12 x 136 x 83 mm. The pad's precise engineering delivers consistent stopping power, enhances driver safety, and contributes to the overall efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These basically create the friction that stops your car. When you hit the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pads against the brake rotors – those are the shiny discs you see when you look through your wheels. The pads squeeze those rotors, and that friction is what slows and eventually stops your car. They're consumable items, meaning they wear down over time – it’s just part of how they work. They’re a critical part of your braking system, obviously. Everything works together – the pedal, the master cylinder, the lines, the calipers, and the pads and rotors. Think of the pads as the final point of contact, the thing that actually does the stopping. Without good pads, you don’t have good stopping power, plain and simple. They work with the rotors, and really, you almost always replace them together for the best performance.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Because your safety depends on them! Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, which can be dangerous. You’ll notice if they're getting really bad – maybe a grinding noise when you brake, or the car taking longer to stop. Sometimes you’ll even feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. Ignoring worn pads can also damage those rotors, costing you more money in the long run. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, but more importantly, you want to make sure you get the right ones for your car. We can look that up for you if you tell me the make, model, and year. It's just one of those things you don't want to mess around with.
