Here at Way Brothers, we understand that some drivers want to know more about the parts that make up their vehicle. Here is a short and sweet guide on exactly how your brake pads work, so you can better maintain their efficiency.
As the pedal is pressed toward the car's floor, a cylinder begins to rush brake fluid through the various lines leading to the calipers near the wheels. These calipers engage the brake pads and cause them to press firmly on the rotor of the wheel until it slows or comes to a full stop.
You can rely on your brake pads to maintain for up to 65,000 miles but can deteriorate as quickly as 20,000 miles depending on the driver's diligence. If you want to check the brake pedals yourself, simply find them near the wheel and check that they have not worn too thin from driving around Hawkinsville.
