Brake Pads

The braking system in your car is a complex system of many parts that all perform their own functions necessary to bring your Toyota to a stop. One of these essential parts would be your brake pads. Brake pads work as a buffer between your rotors and calipers and are thick to be able to withstand an insane amount of heat and pressure. As the brake pads press against your rotors, they generate friction that is used to get your car to stop. There are many different warning signs to watch out for when it comes to your brake pads wearing down. Paying attention to these will help ensure you can make replacements right away and stay safe on the road. Coming to a stop might start to take a longer time than usual. This can come from your brake pads not being able to create the right amount of friction with your rotors. Dust can also accumulate on the rotors from the brake pads wearing out over time. If you're stepping down on the brake pedal and notice that it feels squishy or spongy, it could be a sign of your brake pads wearing down as well. Grab OEM Toyota brake pads here on our site.
