If you have been hearing noises as you apply the brakes, perhaps your Chevy Caprice brake pads are due for maintenance. These small but crucial brake system components require regular maintenance to provide safe and efficient braking performance. Brake pads are part of the assembly of brake components that are positioned at each wheel of your vehicle, working together to produce the friction that is necessary to bring your vehicle to a stop.

There is a pair of brake pads at each wheel, operated by the brake caliper with the assistance of a hydraulic fluid system. When you step on the brake pedal in your vehicle, the brake master cylinder sends a surge of fluid through the brake hose to a piston in the brake caliper, causing it to move the brake pads into contact with the brake disc, squeezing it firmly between them to create friction, stopping the motion of the wheel.

The brake pads are lined with a friction compound to help them maintain a sure grip on the brake disc, as well as protecting the smooth surface of the disc from damage as the brake pads make contact. Every time the brakes are applied, the Chevy Caprice brake pads lose a bit of their friction coating, wearing it away against the brake disc, making regular replacement necessary as the lining grows thin with everyday use.
