These do the actual stopping. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pads against the rotors – those are the shiny discs you see when you look through your wheels. The friction between the pad material and the rotor slows and ultimately stops the vehicle. A set usually includes pads for both sides of the axle, sometimes more, and sometimes even new hardware like clips and shims. They’re a key part of your braking system, obviously. But think of them as the first line of defense in stopping your car. The brake lines, master cylinder, and everything else work to get the force to the wheels, but the pads are what actually make the contact and do the work. They work with the rotors to create the friction needed to bring everything to a halt. Well, safety first, right? Worn brake pads mean longer stopping distances. You’ll notice if they’re getting bad because you might feel vibrations when braking, hear squealing or grinding noises, or the pedal might feel softer or lower than usual. Continuing to drive on completely worn pads can damage the rotors, and that gets expensive. Changing them regularly prevents that, keeps you safe, and saves you money in the long run. We carry a lot of different brands, and you can find a good brake pad set, even for a good price, over at Fixparts Online. It's a good idea to check them during routine maintenance, like an oil change, or whenever you suspect something isn’t quite right with your brakes. Environmentally conscious choice: Brake Pad Set (MPN ADA104231) comes with a 12-month warranty!
