Each disc brake pad presses against the rotor when you apply the brakes, and its friction material wears down with use. Signs that your rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding while braking, a longer stopping distance, or pad material that looks thin when inspected. Replacing the pads on both rear wheels at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking.
