Brake pads are an essential part of any vehicle's braking system, providing the necessary friction required to slow or stop your car. Brake pads come in many different types, it is important to select the appropriate type for your car based off its driving conditions and environment. Regular replacement of brake pads is necessary to ensure optimal performance and safety when driving—so always make sure you check your brakes regularly for wear and tear. If you are unsure if your pads need replacing, brake pad wear levels can be quickly and easily measured using a ruler. Simply place the ruler across the brake pad, with one end of the ruler flush to the surface of the rotor. Then measure and note the thickness of the brake pad, which should be somewhere between 3mm and 5mm in most vehicles. Anything less than 3mm indicates that it is time to replace your brake pads.
