Genuine Mopar Brake Pads

Brake pads are the barrier between the rotors and calipers. An essential component to your brake system, they work to slow and stop your vehicle when the brake pedal is applied.

Brake pads are attached to the calipers, and when you press the brake pedal, pressurized brake fluid is sent to the calipers where a piston presses the pads into the rotors to stop. Since the brake pads produce friction to stop, they experience heat. This heat can wear them down over time and you will likely notice brake dust build-up when they begin to thin.

Brake pads come in a variety of styles. Organic brakes made of glass and rubber materials being the most common for the daily commuter vehicle. Other brake pad types are metallic, semi-metallic, and ceramic. All of which are designed to produce sufficient stopping time and distance for sports cars and or larger vehicles.

Aside from excessive brake dust build-up on your wheels, other signs of bad brake pads are:
