Have you noticed a high-pitched squealing or squeaking sound lately coming from your brakes? You had better check on your Chevrolet Tahoe brake pads. You will find a pair of Tahoe brake pads mounted at each of your wheels, flanking your rotors. The purpose of these essential components is to work with your rotors and generate friction, which your vehicle uses to come to a safe and controlled stop.

Your Chevrolet Tahoe brake pads are made with a thick frictional lining that is mounted on to a metal backing plate. This lining may be either metallic with powdered bronze or copper, or non-metallic with high temperature resins and organic fillers.

If you have metallic Tahoe brake pads installed, they are going to last longer, but they will cause your brake rotors to wear down faster. Non-metallic or “soft” Chevrolet Tahoe brake pads are designed to wear down faster than your rotors, which means that you will not need new rotors too often, but you will need to replace your brake pads periodically. That high-pitched squeaking is coming from your brake pad sensors, which are telling you that the thickness of your brake pad lining has dropped below a quarter of an inch, and you are going to have to install new ones soon. If you do not change your Tahoe brake pads when necessary, you will end up damaging your rotors.Do not wait until your vehicle requires more expensive repairs; it’s easy to order a new set of Tahoe brake pads from our vast online catalogue, and you will get a great price too!
