Brake Pads

The average life of brake pads is somewhere between 25,000 - 65,000 miles. That can vary depending on how much you drive your Nissan vehicle and what type of driving you do. Some of us drive in stop and go traffic on a daily basis which can be harder on our brakes. Your brake pads wear every time you put your foot on them. Squeaking sounds and having to apply a firmer pressure on them could be signs of needing new pads. You may feel vibrations within the breaking system. Another sign of a breaking problem is your check engine warning light. The brakes on your vehicle work to stop your vehicle in this manner - you press on the brakes causing the pads to tighten on the rotors. This causes the friction that you need to come to a complete stop. When your brake pads wear down and become less than 1/4 inch thick they do not work as efficiently. When you check your brake pads for wear and replace them when they are too thin you will also be helping to keep your brake rotors in better shape. In essence your rotors will last longer when you maintain your brake pads. When shopping for new brake pads check out our webstore. We sell quality OEM brake pads for your Nissan vehicle.
