Brake Pads Set For KIA Sorento 2021-2023 Part No: 58302C5A01 ( Advance Payment is Mandatory ) Brake pads are a vital component of a car's braking system. They are responsible for creating the friction necessary to slow down or stop the vehicle when the brakes are applied. Brake pads are typically composed of friction material bonded to a metal backing plate. The friction material is designed to withstand high temperatures and provide consistent braking performance. Common friction materials include organic, semi-metallic, and ceramic compounds. Each material has its own characteristics in terms of braking performance, noise levels, durability, and cost. High-quality brake pads are crucial for optimal braking performance and safety. Maintaining a reliable braking system requires periodic inspection and maintenance. This includes checking the thickness of the brake pads, inspecting for any signs of damage or uneven wear, and ensuring proper lubrication and operation of the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. Regular brake fluid flushes are also recommended to maintain the overall health of the braking system.
