This disc brake pads page is an overview of one of the most common automotive maintenance operation performed on the automobile.

The reason why this service is performed so often is that the main component being the brake pad is designed to wear out. Brake pads are metal plates with the friction linings either riveted or bonded to them. This is important in determining when the disc brake pads should be replaced for maintenance reasons.
