Do I need to replace the 4mm brake pads?

Relevant information shows that the thickness of the new brake pads is about 1cm. As the use time increases, the brake pads will gradually wear, and 4mm represents the degree of wear of the brake pads. When the thickness of the brake pad is reduced to 4mm, it means that it has been worn more. Although it has not yet reached the critical value recommended for replacement, this value has revealed a potential threat to driving safety.

The thinner the brake pad, the braking effect will decrease and the stopping distance of the vehicle will increase accordingly. In addition, excessively worn brake pads can cause unstable braking, potentially creating a risk of brake failure. Therefore, even if the brake pads are worn to 4mm and do not immediately affect the braking performance, considering safety and driving comfort, we still recommend timely replacement.

In addition, the brake pad replacement cycle will also vary depending on usage conditions and driving habits. Generally speaking, when the mileage reaches about 3,000 kilometers, the degree of wear of the brake pads deserves attention. At this time, it is best to inspect and evaluate whether they need to be replaced. At the same time, if the vehicle has been used for more than two years, you should also consider replacing the brake pads in time, because the accumulation of time will also affect the performance of the brake pads.

To ensure safe driving, we need to pay close attention to the wear of brake pads.ifDiscoverThe brake pads are worn to about 4mm. Although they have not yet reached the critical point that must be replaced, in order to ensure driving safety and braking effect, we recommend replacing the brake pads in time. Regular inspection and maintenance of the brake system is the responsibility of every car owner to ensure brake reliability and driving safety.
