When you press the brake pedal, the pads clamp against the rotor to slow the vehicle. Signs that pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances and visibly thin friction material. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Replacing the pads on both sides of the front axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
