Brake pads are one of the most critical parts in automobiles. At present, there are many brands of brake pads on the market, with different qualities and different prices. This brings a certain degree of difficulty for consumers to choose. How much is the price of brake pads?
The price of brake pads varies according to different models, materials, and brands. Currently, the main materials used for brake pads are asbestos, high-carbon fiber, semi-metal, ceramic and so on. Among them, asbestos brake pads have been eliminated. At present, the most common ones are semi-metallic and ceramic. Nowadays, the more famous brake pad brands include Bosch, Abrasion resistant, Ferodo, Xinyi, Temmington, TRW and so on.
The price of brake pads depends not only on the brand but also on the material, and then it is divided into front and back. Take TRW brake pads as an example.ToyotaCorollaModel ceramic front brake pads in 340YuanA pair of left and right, a pair of rear brake pads is about 320 yuan, and ChevronMai Rui BaoThe front brake pads of less metal materials are about 270 yuan, and the price of rear brake pads is about 220 yuan. The specific priceIt depends on the situation.
Under normal circumstances, the front brake pads will wear out faster. The car needs to be replaced after driving about 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, and the rear brake pads need to be replaced at about 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. How to judge whether the brake pads need to be replaced? There are several methods:
One, look at the thickness
Generally, the thickness of a new brake pad is about 1.5 cm. If it is worn to one-third, that is, when the thickness is less than 5 mm, it is recommended to replace it in time;
Second, listen to the sound
If there is a metal friction sound when braking, it may be that the brake pads are worn to the lowest thickness, and the limit marks on both sides of the brake pads touch and rub and the brake discs make abnormal noises, and need to be replaced in time;
Three, look at the tips
Some models have brake wear warnings. If the brake pads are worn too much, the sensing wire will touch the brake discs, which will cause the resistance to change, which will generate electric current. If a signal is detected, there will be a brake pad warning light on the dashboard.
Four, by feeling
If you feel that the brake pedal feels light, or if you feel that the brakes are difficult to stop, it indicates that the brake pads are severely worn and the thickness is insufficient, and they need to be replaced in time.
Under normal driving conditions, the front and rear brake pads have a different replacement cycle. Compared with the rear brake pads, the front brake pads will receive more braking force, often wear more and have a shorter service life. Generally, it needs to be replaced at about 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers; the brake pads bear less braking force and can be used for longer. Generally, they only need to be replaced for 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers.
