Why Worry About Your Brake Pads? 

Brake pads are an important part of your Subaru's disc brake system. Upon braking, the calipers push the pads against the disc rotor, allowing the friction of the pad's semi-metallic material to slow the vehicle down and bring it to a safe stop. With time and mileage, the brake pads will eventually wear down and make your vehicle lose some of its stopping performance. Worn brake pads are a safety hazard that could endanger you and others on the road. You'll also risk damaging other parts of your braking system if you don't have your brake pads changed promptly.

Signs That It's Time to Buy New Brake Pads

Brake pads can deteriorate with age and use, so it's usually a good idea to replace them every 30,000 to 40,000 miles, depending on your vehicle type and driving habits. Driving in frequent stop-and-go traffic in Topeka, KS can warrant earlier replacement, while frequent highway driving extends the life of your brake pads. The front pads usually wear out faster than the rear due to the transfer of weight and momentum upon braking. A visual inspection is one of the best ways to find out if you need new brake pads. If the brake pad material is less than ¼-inch thick, then it's time to have those pads replaced. Here are a few other indicators that a brake pad replacement should be on your to-do list:

• Constant grinding or squealing noises when you're coming to a stop
• Brake pedal shaking when slowing down or coming to a stop
• Strong pull to one side when braking
• Mushy brake pedal feel
