Rear Brake Pad Replacement

Toyota Braking & Rear Brake Pad Maintenance

Every Toyota vehicle is equipped with a braking system that efficiently brings the vehicle to a stop. The brakes in your Toyota vehicle work through hydraulics that clamp the brake pads against the rotors to create resistance sufficient to bring vehicles to a stop quickly. To prevent damages, brake pads are designed to wear away as to protect other components from damages. It is due to this purposeful design that rear brake pads require routine inspections and replacement when they are worn. Brake pads today have a wear warning indicator that makes an loud screech signaling the need for replacement.

When Should I Replace My Vehicle’s Brake Pads?

The objective is to get the most out of the rear brake pads while containing excessive risk. We help our customers achieve this goal, and save some money doing it, through routine inspections that assist our customers in knowing the point by which risks and rewards are balanced. At the point in which declining brake system performance is a risk factor due to little brake pad thickness remaining, we recommend rear brake pad replacement to escape the consequences of defective brake pads while squeezing as many miles as you can out of them. If brake pads fail an inspection or if the driver hears the telltale screech from the brake pad wear warning indicator, it is time for a brake pad replacement service.
