Brake pads use friction material to grip steel brake rotors that control your speed and enable you to stop safely while driving in Schererville. The friction material is affixed to a metal backing place and mounted on brake calipers or brake shoes.
Different types of friction material provide varying friction and stopping power. When you press the brake pedal and the brake hydraulics cause the pads to press against either side of respective brake rotors. The brake pads that we mount at Napleton's Autowerks of Indiana, Inc. slow your vehicle to a safe and controlled stop. Metal rivets usually secure brake pads to metal backing plates that press the friction material against the brake rotors.
The friction material is slightly softer than the steel rotor so that the pads lose a tiny amount of material every time you stop. The softer friction pad protects the brake rotor against damage.
