Why Does My Ford Need a Brake Pad Replacement?

Brake pads are made of two main components: a metal backing and a lining made of a softer, friction-resistant compound. It’s the lining that comes into contact with the rotors when the brake pads are squeezed by the calipers. Since it’s softer than the metal of the rotors, the brake pad lining will wear down sooner. Before it wears down completely and exposes your braking system to metal-on-metal friction, head to Bommarito Ford for a brake pad replacement.

How Often Should I Have the Brake Pads Replaced?

We get this question a lot, and the answer is... it really depends. Generally, we change brake pads anywhere between every 25,000 miles and every 50,000 miles. As you may notice, this is a huge range! That’s because everybody’s braking habits are different. We rely on brake inspections to let us know when your brake pads need to be replaced, so be sure to have them performed regularly.

How Can I Make My Brake Pads Last Longer?

There are several things you can do to bring your brake pads closer to the 50,000-mile side. The most important is to avoid heavy braking. If you give yourself time to slowly come to a stop, your brake pads will thank you, and so will any cars behind you! Also, avoid overloading your vehicle, and be sure to remove excess cargo when you don’t need it.
