Brake pads press against the rotor to slow the wheel, and they wear with every stop. Signs your pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or visibly thin friction material. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors at the same time.
