OEM Infiniti Brake Pads

Brake pads are a crucial part of your Infiniti vehicle's disc brake system. They work together with the brake calipers and brake rotors to generate the friction – or resistance – that slows, and eventually stops, the rotation of your wheels.

What Brake Pads Do

For you, the act of braking is simple. You press your foot against the brake pedal. At the other end, things are much more involved. When you apply that pressure to the brake pedal, hydraulic brake fluid is sent from the master brake cylinder to the calipers. That causes the calipers to clamp onto the rotors to produce friction. Since both calipers and rotors are made of metal, the brake pads cushion that contact to prevent lasting damage from taking place.

Eventually, though, your brake pads will begin to wear down due to the extreme heat and pressure that result from braking. When that happens, your safety's at risk.

How to Spot Bad Brake Pads

Signs of failing brake pads include:

• Your brakes whine or vibrate
• You notice excessive pad wear
• It takes your vehicle longer to slow down or stop
• You hear grinding noises when you brake
• The brake pedal feels abnormally soft underfoot
