Hyundai Brake Pads

Brake pads may seem like nothing more than simple friction-generating surfaces mounted on top of steel backplates. However, they're crucial to the disc brake system, in your case, in your Hyundai -- it couldn't work properly without them, not without getting damaged. There's a lot more to learn about them, too. Our auto parts store has the details.

Hyundai Brake Pads FAQ

What Do They Do?

They attach to brake calipers and contact brake rotors, creating the resistance necessary for slowing and stopping your vehicle's wheels and tires.

What Types are There?

There are four, generally:

• Organic brake pads are designed for everyday driving in normal conditions. They can be made of everything from rubber or carbon to glass/fiberglass, and they're fastened by resin. They're reliable, easier on rotors than other kinds, they produce very little brake dust, and they're inexpensive. Because of this, most Hyundai cars use them.
• Metallic brake pads offer a firmer grip when the brake pedal is pressed, and they withstand heat and fade better than other alternatives. They can be made of metals like copper, iron, or steel, or of an alloy.
• Ceramic brake pads are built dependable for use in wet weather, they produce brake dust that isn't as sticky as other kinds, and they're quieter than usual. They're comprised of a dense, exceptionally resilient ceramic.
• Carbon fiber brake pads are the best of several possible worlds, built extraordinarily strong, highly resistant to heat, and designed to deliver ultimate stopping power. They're sometimes called graphite fiber, given that they're made of the filamentous crystalline polymer.

When Do You Replace Them?

Most, you can typically get 40,000 to 50,000 miles at a time out of before you have to change them. Otherwise, look for the symptoms it may be time.

What are the Signs They Need Changing?

They include:

• ABS and/or brake warnings on the dashboard
• Obvious pad wear and/or damage
• Vibrating or whining brakes
• Taking longer than usual to slow down and stop
• Grinding noises
