How long to replace the rear brake pads？
6 to 100,000 kilometers
The replacement cycle of the rear brake pads is usually carried out when the vehicle travels 6 to 100,000 kilometers, but the specific replacement time also needs to consider the thickness of the brake pads. Generally, the thickness of the new brake pad is about 1.5 cm, and when the brake pad is worn to the remaining thickness of less than 3 mm, it should be replaced immediately. In addition, if you hear the sound of metal friction or feel the brake pedal feel lighter when braking, it may also be that the brake pads are worn to the extent that they need to be replaced. For different types of brake systems, such as drum braking, the replacement cycle may be slightly different, generally in about 6-100,000 kilometers to replace.
The rear brake pads wear out faster than the front ones
Whether the rear brake pads wear faster than the front brake pads depends on a variety of factors, including the design of the vehicle, the way it is driven, driving habits and road conditions. Here are the details:
Vehicle design. Some models are designed so that the rear wheel braking force is relatively large, which is usually to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle when braking. However, this also means that the rear brake pads will face faster wear while bearing greater braking force.
Drive mode. In front wheel drive vehicles, the front brake pads usually wear faster than the rear brake pads. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, rear brakes wear out faster.
Driving habits and road conditions. Frequent use of the brakes or driving on slippery surfaces can cause the rear brake pads to wear out faster.
Maintenance and maintenance. If the rear brake pads of the vehicle are not properly maintained and maintained, such as not replacing the brake pads or adjusting the brake system in a timely manner, this may cause the rear brake pads to wear out faster.
In summary, the rear brake pads wear faster than the front brake pads for many reasons, including vehicle design, driving methods, driving habits and road conditions. Therefore, the owner should carry out regular inspection and maintenance according to the actual situation of the vehicle to ensure driving safety.
Can the car still drive without the rear brake pad grinding
Unable to proceed
When the rear brake pads are worn away, the vehicle cannot continue. This is because continuing to drive carries significant safety risks, including:
Brake disc damage: When the brake pads are completely worn, each time the brake pedal is pressed, the brake disc will be directly contacted and damaged.
Reduced braking capacity: wear of brake pads can seriously affect the braking capacity of the vehicle, increasing the braking distance, thereby increasing the risk of traffic accidents.
Increased maintenance costs: If the brake disc is badly damaged, it may be necessary to replace part or all of the entire brake system, which will add additional maintenance costs and time.
Therefore, once the brake pads are found to be seriously worn or about to be worn out, new brake pads should be replaced immediately to ensure driving safety. At the same time, it is recommended that the owner regularly check the wear and tear of the brake pads and brake discs in the usual maintenance to avoid the occurrence of such situations.
