Self-checking Method Of Automobile Brake Pad

Nowadays, cars are not only a simple means of travel, but also a lot of people's life partners. Many friends like to play cars and grind cars after work. Some friends, even if they don’t know the car well, hope to use the car experience to gain more car knowledge and use this knowledge to check their own cars. Today Lexus Brake Pad Supplier first tells you about the self-check of the brake pads.

Self-inspection tips hope to introduce some simple self-inspection methods within their ability, so that even if the owner cannot replace or repair it by himself, he can learn more about the vehicle information in a timely manner, and when he cannot get a professional inspection at any time, inspect and judge the vehicle itself. The problem approach. Brake pads and brake discs are two parts. The brake pads need to be replaced regularly, and the brake discs need not be replaced in daily use without damage.

So when does the brake pad need to be replaced? The following is a test method to check whether the brake pad should be replaced.

1. Look at thickness

The thickness of a new brake pad is generally about 1.5cm, and the thickness will gradually become thinner with continuous friction during use. Professional technicians suggest that when the thickness of the brake pads is only 1/3 of the original thickness, the owner should increase the frequency of self-inspection and be ready to replace it at any time. Of course, due to the design of the wheel hub, some models do not have the conditions for visual inspection, and the tires need to be removed to complete, such as the Ferrari Brake Pad, etc., which requires professional inspection.

Each brake pad has a protruding mark on both sides. The thickness of this mark is about two or three millimeters. This is also the limit of the thinnest replacement of the brake disc. If the thickness of the brake pad is already parallel to this mark, it must be replaced. Therefore, when the thickness of the brake pads is close to this mark, the owner must observe and prepare at any time, but it is difficult to observe accurately with the naked eye without removing the tires. At present, many models have the position of the instrument handbrake light when the brake pads are too thin. As a reminder, relative self-test is more convenient.

There are no strict replacement intervals for the brake pads according to the vehicle environment and driving habits. Generally, the brake pads should be replaced when driving about 60,000 kilometers. When visual inspection reveals that the brake pads are thin, a technician should be required to inspect them during maintenance, because visual inspection will inherently have errors, and professional repair stations will be more rigorous than visual inspection through calipers.

2. Listen to the sound

If the tapping of the brake is accompanied by the sound of "iron iron", the brake pads must be replaced immediately. When such a sound occurs, the brake disc is often damaged. At this time, even if the brake disc is replaced with a new one, the sound cannot be eliminated. In severe cases, the brake disc must be replaced.

When you hear the brakes, it is often too late. At this time, the brake discs will be more or less damaged. The price of brake discs is much higher than that of brake pads. Therefore, it is recommended that you check the brake pads to avoid damage to the brake discs.

3. Feeling strength

When the brake pads become thinner, our braking effect will be affected. At this time, you need to press the brake pedal deeper to achieve the original braking effect that can be achieved by lightly pedaling. The braking effect in the first half is obviously weakened. The brakes are soft and cannot be braked. At this time, you must check whether the brake pads need to be replaced.

This method is relatively abstract and may feel a little difficult to grasp, so it is important to develop a good self-inspection habit. In addition, the reduction of the braking effect will lead to an increase in the consumption of brake fluid. Therefore, it is important to check the condition of the brake fluid while replacing the brake pads.

The above is the self-inspection method of automobile brake pads introduced by AUDI Brake Pad Factory. Hope to help you.
