When you press the pedal, this rear disc brake pad set clamps against the rotor and turns motion into heat to slow the vehicle. Signs that rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances and thin friction material at inspection. Have the rotors checked when you change the pads, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
