As a front disc brake pad, it presses against the rotor when the brakes are applied, creating the friction that slows the vehicle. Signs your pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding while braking, a longer stopping distance, or pads worn thin on inspection. Replacing the pads on both front wheels together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
