    Method of distinguishing replacement period of brake pad

   Vehicle safety for every owner, in the driving process is put in the first place. In addition to airbags, crash beams, seatbelts and some high-tech anti-collision systems, brake performance is also an important factor affecting safety. Brake pad production equipment as vulnerable parts, many car owners are following the advice of the car repair master, in the end need to change their own is also confused, how often should the brake pad change? Don't be fooled. People who understand cars tell the truth! When the brake pads need to be replaced can basically be judged from three aspects.

    First, look at the thickness: the simplest way is to look at the prompt of the instrument panel. When the indicator light of the brake pad is always on, the brake pad needs to be replaced in time. We can usually observe the thickness of the brake pad more, so that we know it. Usually, the thickness of a new pair of brake pads is about 1.5cm. If the thickness of your brake pads is less than 0.5cm, you should consider replacing them.

   Second: listen to the sound. If there is a "iron rubbing iron" sound accompanied by a light brake, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. Because the limit marks on both sides of the brake pad have directly rubbed the brake disc, it is proved that the brake pad has exceeded the limit. In this case, when replacing the brake pads, it is necessary to cooperate with the inspection of the brake discs. When this sound occurs, the brake discs are often damaged.

    Third, when the brake pads become thinner, our braking effect will be affected. At this time, it is necessary to step on the brake pads deeper to achieve the original braking effect. It is felt that the braking effect is obviously weakened. Many people feel that their brakes become soft and a little bit unstoppable, which suggests that you need to replace the brake pads in time. This method is relatively abstract. It may be a little bad by feeling Hold, so it's important to form a good self checking habit. In addition, the decrease of braking effect will lead to the increase of brake oil consumption. Therefore, when replacing the brake pads, it is necessary to check the condition of brake oil.
