Brake pads are an important part of your Subaru vehicle's braking system. These discs convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction. Each brake caliper consists of two brake pads that push the brake rotors in the wheel to slow down their spinning.
When Should I Replace my Subaru Brake Pads?
To ensure your vehicle's braking system is working at its best, you'll want to know signs indicating the need for brake pad replacement. While the replacement frequency may vary depending on your Subaru model and driving habits, replacing them every 20,000 miles is a general guideline. However, certain signs may indicate a need for replacement before this mileage threshold:
High-Pitched Screeching Noises: If you hear a high-pitched screeching noise when applying the brakes, it's likely that the brake pads have worn down and need replacement. Modern brake pads often come equipped with a wear indicator that produces this noise when they reach a certain level of wear.
Grinding Sounds: A grinding or growling noise when you brake can be a sign that the brake pads have been completely worn down, and the metal backing of the pad is now making direct contact with the brake rotor. This not only compromises braking performance but also risks damaging the rotors.
Vibrating Steering Wheel: If you feel vibrations in the steering wheel when braking, it could be a sign of unevenly worn brake pads or warped brake rotors. In either case, an inspection and possible replacement are necessary.
Thinner Brake Pad Material: Visually inspecting your brake pads can also provide a clue about their condition. If the material on the pad is less than 1/4 inch thick, it's time to consider replacement.
