Brake Pads

There are a ton of different parts that make up the brake system in your Subaru, and the brake pads are one of them. The brake pads in your vehicle were invented in the late 1800's to help make the stopping process more effective. The brake pads use a combination of heat and friction to get your Subaru to slow down. They are subjected to high amounts of both heat and friction on a daily basis. They press against your brake rotors to help get your car to slow down. They are made from high-quality materials so they are able to handle these things, but this doesn't mean they won't wear down over time. It's important that you pay attention to the condition of these parts because the brake system relies on them to help you come to a stop safely. You can check the condition of your brake pads with a visual inspection to see how thin they have worn down. A shaking feeling in your brake pedal or steering wheel can be a sign of something wrong with your brake pads. You might start to hear loud grinding or screeching noises coming from the system as well. It's important that you get OEM brake pads when the time comes to replace yours. This way, they'll fit properly. Find them for your Subaru here on our site.
