OEM Nissan Brake Pads

Brake pads are one of the essential parts of a Nissan disc brake system. They have the crucial job of helping your vehicle decelerate. To do it properly, your brake calipers need to press them to your brake rotors. This creates friction, the kind you need to slow and stop.

Types of Brake Pads

Frankly, they're numerous. They range from organic, ceramic, and metallic to high-strength carbon fiber. Everyday cars and SUVs can use any of these, but trucks usually use metallic or ceramic. Sports cars and other performance vehicles often use ceramic or carbon fiber, as they're designed to dissipate heat best.

When to Replace Your Brake Pads

Normally, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. However, it also depends on how and where you drive, since conditions and traffic situations can play havoc on your brakes in general.

Luckily, you'll see signs of when to change brake pads well before they're worn out or they go bad. Do your brakes whine when you step on your brake pedal? This indicates excessive surface wear. Check to see if the pads have thinned to less than a quarter-inch thick. Did your brake warning light come on when your parking brake wasn't engaged? That's another symptom. A grinding sound is another, but it's often the worst-case scenario: the onset of brake rotor damage. Vibration during braking tells you something similar: your pads are wearing unevenly because of warped rotors. Maybe your stopping time's just gotten longer. Whatever your brake problems, don't ignore them. Run an inspection.
