OEM Mopar Brake Pads

The disc brake system at the heart of most modern cars, pickups, vans, and SUVs consists of an intricate network of parts that all need to work together to slow, and eventually stop, the rotation of your wheels. Your brake pads are among the most essential of them.

How Your Brake Pads Work

When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid through a series of brake hoses and brake lines. The pressure of that fluid causes the brake calipers to clamp against your brake rotors and create the friction you need to stop. The brake pads cushion that contact, preventing wear and tear while absorbing heat generated during the braking process.

Types of Brake Pads

Organic brake pads are most common, and can be found on most cars and SUVs. That's because they're affordable, reliable, and easiest on the brake rotors.

Trucks are typically equipped with either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic brake pads are firmer feeling and resist heat better. Ceramic brake pads are quieter and more reliable in wet conditions. Finally, carbon fiber brake pads are generally reserved for performance vehicles. They're tough, temperature-resistant, and deliver exceptional stopping power.

How to Spot Bad Brake Pads

Even the best brake pads will wear out over time, though. When that happens, you'll want to replace them ASAP to ensure safe driving and reliable stopping. Signs of failure include:

• A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
• You hear squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises
• Needing more time and road to come to a stop
• The brake pedal feels soft or squishy
