The Importance of Brake Pads
These days, most vehicles come with disc brakes. Brake pads are a vital part of this disc braking system. When you step down on the brake pedal, brake fluid transfers and amplifies this force, causing the calipers to tighten. The brake pads are attached to the calipers by way of a metal backing; the calipers’ tightening makes the brake pad lining press against the brake rotors (or discs), slowing your Chevy down or bringing it to a stop. Each time you step on the brakes, the brake pad lining wears down a bit more. Since it's made of a softer composite than the metal rotors, it will wear out sooner.
Do Front Brake Pads Wear Out Faster than Rear Brake Pads?
Yes, front brake pads do tend to wear down faster than rear brake pads. This is because they have a lot more to put up with. When you come to a stop -- even a gentle one -- your vehicle's weight shifts forward, and the brakes have to deal with that force. So, don't be surprised if your front brake pads need to be replaced while the rear ones are still fine.
How Often Does My Chevy Require Front Brake Pad Replacement Service?
Some auto services should be performed at a certain mileage, but front brake pad replacement is not one of these. Instead, they should be replaced as needed. If you drive in a high-traffic area or tend to come to a lot of sudden stops where you slam on the brakes, the front brake pads won't last nearly as long. If you don't drive in stop-and-go traffic as often, and if you come to a smooth and gentle stop, your brake pads will last longer. The best way to tell is to head to Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet for a brake inspection.
