These front pads clamp against the rotor when the brake pedal is pressed, turning the vehicle's motion into heat to slow it down. Pads may need replacing if they are worn thin, squeal or grind under braking, or if stopping distances feel longer. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and inspect the rotors while the wheels are off. Replacing the pads on both front wheels together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
