Front Brake Pad Service & Repair
Front brake pads tend to wear down faster due to the components' additional load at the front axle. The additional weight at the front of the average vehicle causes increased friction and heat between the front brake pads and rotors. With the front brake pads often wearing out twice as quickly compared to the rear, you might need to replace the front brake pads exclusively. This will better serve the overall braking system while you get the most out of all brake pads. The worn front brake pads are removed, and brand new genuine Mopar parts installed.
How do I know if my brake pads are worn down?
The first telltale warning is the eardrum-piercing metallic screech that occurs by design as the brake pad warning tab strikes the rotor. If this warning goes unattended and the front brake pads wear out entirely, you will allow these troubles into your driving experience:
- Grinding or any other noise when braking
- Brake warning light
- Brake pedal feels soft or spongy
- Brakes are slow to respond or require a greater distance to stop
- Vibrations
The ultimate consequence of brake pad neglect is poor braking when you need it most. Beyond the damaged calipers and rotors that will occur with worn-out pads, brake pad neglect's ultimate risk is an accident due to poor braking.
