OE Brake Pad Replacement Focus Keyphrase: Friction Issues and the Reality

Understanding Friction Brakes and Brake Pads Friction brakes are a cornerstone of your vehicle’s braking system, crucial for ensuring safety and performance. At the heart of this system are the brake pads, which are responsible for creating the friction needed to slow down or stop your vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid transmits this force to the caliper piston, which then presses the brake pads against the brake rotors. This contact converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into heat, effectively reducing speed. Brake pads are engineered to endure the high temperatures generated during braking. They are typically composed […]
