These pads create the friction needed to slow down or stop your vehicle when you press the brake pedal. They're essentially what squeezes against the brake rotors – those are the shiny discs you see when you look through your wheels. That friction is what turns your speed into heat, and that’s how the car stops. A set includes pads for both front or both rear wheels, sometimes both. They’re a crucial part of your braking system, obviously. When you hit the brakes, the hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder pushes the pads against the rotors. It's a fairly simple system mechanically, but relies heavily on those pads making good contact and having enough friction material. Think of them as the final point of contact for stopping power. They work with the rotors, calipers and brake lines. Well, stopping is pretty important, right? Worn brake pads mean longer stopping distances, and that’s a safety issue. You’ll notice if they’re getting thin, probably by a squealing sound when you brake – that's a little metal wear indicator letting you know it's time. But even before you hear anything, the pads wear down, reducing your ability to stop quickly. Ignoring them can also damage your rotors, which is a more expensive fix. You can find a good set of brake pads – and all the parts for your brakes – over at Fixparts Online, but really any reliable auto parts store will do. Just make sure you get the right ones for your vehicle. Buy risk-free: Brake Pad Set (MPN 16254) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
