New MOPAR Brake Pads

Brakes are arguably one of the most important components of your vehicle. Without properly functioning brakes, you won't be able to bring your car to a stop when you need to, putting you at risk of getting into an accident. Here's what you need to know about your brakes, along with when and how to service them.

How Brakes Work

Your vehicle's braking system is made up of two primary components: pads and rotors. When you apply the brakes, the brake pads press into the rotors to slow the motion of your wheels, ultimately slowing them to stop. Because of the intense pressure required to accomplish this critical task, brake pads and rotors wear down over time, so you'll need to replace them periodically.

When to Replace Your Brake Pads

You can often tell when it is time to replace your brake pads because you'll have to press harder on your brake pedal to get your car to slow down. The specific timeline for brake pad replacement will depend on a number of factors, including your driving habits, make of vehicle, quality of brake pads, and even the local climate. In general, though, you should expect to replace your brake pads about every 50,000 miles, though it can range from 25,000 to 75,000 miles based on the factors above. Check your owner's manual or ask your auto technician to verify the specific brake pad replacement schedule for your vehicle.

The Risk of Delaying Brake Pad Replacement

Many people choose to wait until their brakes start making squealing or screeching noises before replacing the pads. However, this is a huge mistake that could end up costing you a lot more in the long run. By the time your brakes start making noise, it is a surefire sign that the front or rear brake pads are already worn down.
