If you have begun to hear noises as you step on the brake pedal, screeching or grinding sounds, chances are you Chevrolet 4x4 brake pads are due for a change. These small brake components are crucial to the braking performance of your vehicle, working in conjunction with other brake parts to produce the friction that brings the vehicle to a safe and controlled stop. Brake pads are operated by the brake calipers, which use a piston to move a pair of them into contact with the brake disc at each vehicle wheel.

Using a friction lining made up of carbon, metal filings, and strong adhesives, the brake pads grip the brake disc tightly between them, producing enough friction to work against the momentum of the wheel, bringing its rotation to a stop. With every application of the brakes, a bit of the friction compound that lines the brake pads is lost, worn away as the brake pads make contact with the brake disc.

This gradual thinning of the brake pad lining makes regular replacement of the Chevrolet 4x4 brake pads necessary to maintain safe and efficient brake system performance. Many brake pads are equipped with wear sensors that will sound an alert to the driver when the lining of the brake pads has worn thin, often making a high pitched squeal as the vehicle moves.
