Wabco 12182033 Disc Brake Pad 485

Description

The Wabco 12182033 Disc Brake Pad 485 is a critical component of the braking system, providing the necessary friction to slow or stop a vehicle. These pads are designed for use in the brake calipers of various commercial vehicles. This brake pad is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 27 x 113 x 147 mm, contributing to optimal braking force and pad life.

Key Features & Benefits

These pads are really the heart of your stopping power when you’ve got disc brakes. They create friction against the brake rotors – those shiny discs you see when you look at your wheels. When you hit the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the caliper to clamp these pads against the rotors. That friction is what actually slows down and stops your vehicle. It’s a pretty simple idea, but hugely important. Basically, it’s part of your braking system – a vital safety component. It works with the rotors, calipers, and brake lines to give you controlled stops. Each wheel has its own set of pads, so you're looking at needing a set for each wheel when you replace them. They’re located inside the brake caliper, so they aren’t really visible unless you take the wheel off.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, stopping is pretty crucial, right? These pads wear down over time, like anything with friction. You’ll notice if they’re getting bad because you might hear squealing noises when you brake, or you might need to press the brake pedal harder to get the same stopping power. If you let them wear down too far, you can damage the rotors, which is a much more expensive fix. It’s a safety thing, honestly. We carry a lot of different brake pads, and you can find the Disc Brake Pad 485 at places like Fixparts Online.
