FAQ
How do I know when my brake pads need replacing?
One of the best ways to know it’s time to replace brake pads is to watch for squeaking, squealing, or grinding. You might also notice a longer stopping distance or a pulsing brake pedal. A simple inspection involves examining your brake system, particularly the thickness of each calibre disc, as well as the overall performance of your car. Many vehicles have sensor lights to signal worn pads. Add regular inspections to your list of maintenance tasks to ensure safer driving.
Do I need to replace my brake fluid when I install new brake pads?
Although it’s not always mandatory to replace brake fluid when installing new pads, it’s a good idea to check it. Over time, moisture buildup can reduce efficiency and worn fluid affects your brake system’s performance. If you notice dis-colouration or a burning smell after heavy use, consider flushing it. It’s quick at any reputable Workshop, ensuring safety and longevity. Whether you drive with disc or drum brakes, having fresh fluid supports overall stopping power.
Are RDA Brake Pads suitable for towing or heavier loads?
Yes, RDA Brake Pads can handle heavier loads and towing by providing consistent stopping power and heat dissipation. Their advanced formula ensures minimal fade, which helps preserve other key components like tyres and rotors. They also pair well with proper tyre choices for heavy-duty applications. Regular inspections of your braking system are key to preventing issues and maintaining confident performance under increased load.
