Brake pads wear gradually as they press against the rotors to slow the vehicle. Signs that front pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or friction material worn thin on inspection. Inspect the rotors whenever new pads go on, and follow the vehicle service information for installation and break-in.
