Have you heard the warnings from your Chevrolet Equinox brake pads lately? If you have, you have probably been trying to ignore them and hope they go away. When your Equinox brake pads are approaching critical condition, they will emit a high-pitched squeaking sound that you can hear while you drive, but usually stops when you engage the brakes. Many people ignore the squeaking of their Chevrolet Equinox brake pads since it does not affect the performance of the brakes themselves.

However, ignoring your Equinox brake pads can quickly lead to dangerous driving conditions when the lining becomes too thin and starts to damage your brake rotors. Your Chevrolet Equinox brake pads consist of a thick frictional lining that is either riveted or glued to a metal backing plate.

Each time you engage your brakes, your Equinox brake pads clamp down on either side of the metal discs known as brake rotors, in order to generate the friction your vehicle uses to stop. When the lining of your brake pads wears down through use, eventually your brake rotors will grind against the metal backing plate. Of course, this damages your rotors, and it also seriously impairs your ability to stop your rotors. By changing your Equinox brake pads when necessary, you will not only save the money you would spend to replace your rotors, you may also save your life.
