When we talk about the safety performance of a car, the braking system is undoubtedly one of the most important parts. As the "heart" of the braking system, the quality of the brake pads directly affects the braking effect and driving safety. Today we will take an in-depth look at the role of brake pads and provide you with a detailed shopping guide.

Whether it is an emergency stop or a regular deceleration, the brake pads are silently guarding our travel safety. High-quality brake pads can shorten the braking distance, reduce the wear rate, and reduce noise and dust pollution. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable brake pad.

So how to judge the quality of a brake pad? First of all, we need to pay attention to its material composition. At present, the common brake pads on the market are mainly divided into three types: ceramic, metal and organic composite materials. Each material has its own characteristics and scope of application. Ceramic brake pads are known for their excellent heat dissipation performance and low noise; metal brake pads are cheap but easy to produce loud friction sound; and organic composite materials are between the two, which are relatively more cost-effective.

In addition to considering the material, the correct size matching is also an indispensable part. Every car owner should learn to accurately measure the specific specifications and parameters required by his car, and select the matching product model accordingly. This is the only way to ensure compatibility and stability after installation.

As technology advances, many new models begin to emphasize the concept of environmental protection and energy saving. These so-called "green" brake pads have significantly reduced the air pollution problems associated with traditional products through improved formulation processes. For example, some high-end series products use a special coating design to suppress dust emission and significantly reduce the abnormal sound generated during operation.

When it comes to durability, each manufacturer publishes its own official test data for consumer reference. Generally speaking, if used under normal conditions, the standard configuration version can support about 20,000 kilometers before the first replacement operation is required. For the professional racing field, it may only take a few hundred kilometers to check and adjust once! Therefore, the specific values need to be considered comprehensively in combination with the actual situation ~

If you plan to complete the brake pad replacement work yourself, please follow a strict step-by-step process to avoid safety hazards. The first step is to disconnect the power supply to avoid dangerous accidents caused by accidental startup; then disassemble the tire to expose the internal components, and then remove the old parts in turn and clean the surface dirt and impurities so as to smoothly assemble the new parts...

let's talk about budget allocation next ~ after all, not everyone is willing to spend a lot of money to buy top flagship equipment ~ in fact, sometimes the options in the middle price range are completely enough to meet the daily commuting needs! Of course, the prerequisite is to carefully identify the different performance of various brands ~ several established manufacturers such as Bosch (Bosch), TRW (SkyTeam) and Ferodo (Ferodo) have occupied a place in the market with the technical strength accumulated over the years.

finally, I 'd like to share with you a few simple and practical tips to help extend the working cycle of existing devices: regular cleaning of accumulated soil and sand particles can slow down the progress of excessive loss; Maintaining an appropriate tire pressure level helps to disperse pressure and thus reduce local burden intensity, etc. are all rules of thumb worth learning.
