If your vehicle is equipped with a disc braking system, at each of your wheels, you will find a pair of Chevrolet SSR brake pads. Your SSR brake pads consist of a thick frictional lining that is mounted on a metal backing plate, usually with either glue or rivets. The purpose of these devices is to generate friction, which is then applied to your wheels in order to bring your vehicle to a safe and controlled stop.

When you depress your brake pedal, the force is transmitted through hydraulic fluid to your brake calipers, which act as clamps to bring your Chevrolet SSR brake pads into contact with the spinning metal discs of your brake rotors. One of the most common problems vehicle owners experience with brake pads is failure to change them when necessary.

The lining of your SSR brake pads is designed to wear down at a faster rate than your brake rotors. When the depth of the lining drops below an eighth of an inch, you will end up damaging your rotors, as they will grind against the metal backing plate. There are two simple ways to check your brake pads: audibly, and visually. Your Chevrolet SSR brake pads are designed to emit a high-pitched squealing noise when the lining has been worn to the point where they need changing. You can also see your brake pads without removing your wheels by looking through the front of the wheel openings.
