Brake pads are flat components made of ceramic, organic or semi-metallic materials attached to a metal backing. Every time you apply the brakes, these pads hydraulically squeeze your brake discs, using pressure and friction to slow the movement of your car. Brake pads absorb some of the biggest forces involved in driving your car safely from day to day. While they’re made to last for many thousands of miles, they will eventually stop working as the abrasive surface is worn away. Fortunately, most brake pads will tell you when they’re getting old before you’re in any danger. If you hear a clicking or screeching sound when you apply the brakes, or if the brake pedal vibrates under your foot, it normally means you need to get your brake pads replaced.
