Brake pads

The brake system in your Honda is the most important safety feature that it has. It's important as a car owner to take brake maintenance seriously and pay attention to the condition of all the parts that make up the system. The brake pads in particular are important parts of the disc braking system that basically work as shields between the calipers and rotors. There are front and rear brake pads, and it's not uncommon for them to become thinner and thinner over time until they need replacement. The combination of friction and heat will cause stress on them. The calipers generate contact with the rotors to get the wheels to slow down until they ultimately stop. It helps to know some of the signs of brake pad wear and tear so you can make replacements right away. Noise when you're braking is one of the most common signs that you should grab a new set of brake pads. If the pads are worn down enough, they will cause loud squealing or screeching noises to get your attention. A low brake fluid level is also something to look out for.
