These basically create the friction that slows and stops your vehicle. They’re metal plates with a friction material bonded to them – think of it like a specialized surface that grips the rotor when you hit the brakes. They convert the energy of your moving vehicle into heat, which is why your brakes can get warm after a long downhill drive, for example. There's also often a wear indicator built into the pad – a little metal tab that starts squealing when the pad material gets thin. They’re a core part of your braking system, naturally. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the pads against the rotors – that’s the spinning metal disc attached to your wheels. The friction between the pads and rotors slows the wheels, bringing the car to a stop. They work with the rotors, calipers, and brake lines all together. The pads really act like a shield, protecting those more expensive rotors from wear and tear. Well, pretty obvious, right? Your ability to safely stop is directly tied to how good your brake pads are. You’ll notice if they’re going bad – it might start with a squealing or grinding noise, a longer stopping distance, or even a pulling sensation to one side when braking. Ignoring worn pads isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. If they wear down completely, you'll be pressing on metal against metal, which damages the rotors, and seriously impacts your stopping power. You can find a good selection of brake pads for most makes and models at places like Fixparts Online, but the important thing is to get the right ones for your vehicle and replace them before they cause further damage.
