Brake Pads

The brake system in your Land Rover are a critical part of safe driving. Brake pads are one of the parts that help ensure you come to a complete and safe stop. However, over time pads will need replacing, either because of age, use, or damage. When you hit the brakes, you have calipers that work to close, squeezing your brake rotors. Your wheels begin to slow due to the friction being produced. Calipers use brake pads as a buffer to make contract with the rotor during this process. Friction and heat will cause the brake pads to wear down over time. They can become too thin to work as effectively. Squealing or clicking noises are signs that you may need new brake pads, or vibrations in the brake pedal. Recognizing the symptoms of failing brake pads will help determine when it's time for a replacement. These can include loud, unusual sounds when braking, difficulty braking (or failing to come to a total stop when desired), and worsened vehicle performance/fuel economy. When seeking replacements, look for OEM standard brake pads. These guarantee manufacturer level quality and ease of installation. Non-standard parts do not have the same quality promises.
