Rear brake pads are positioned at the rear wheels. They are the same as the front brake pads regarding material design and task. Brake pads can wear down at variable rates, with the rear brake pads generally wearing down slower compared to the front. The variable wear rate lends itself to efficient maintenance, with the rear brake pads replaced exclusively when worn, yet the front pads have sufficient thickness. All brake pads should be replaced when they are worn down to measure 3mm thick.
Rear brake pad replacement service starts in our state-of-the-art facility as the certified technician removes the wheels to access the braking components. We unbolt the calipers to remove the brake pads. We inspect the calipers, rotors, lines, and hardware as we depress the caliper piston. New genuine OEM rear brake pads are then installed to factory specifications. The brake fluid is replenished as needed, and we check the tires for irregular wear.
Worn brake pads are a serious safety risk, with rotor and caliper damages also likely. Drivers should know the worn rear brake pad warning signs and schedule an inspection and replacement service promptly if needed. Here are the common signs that your brake pads require attention:
