When should I change my brake pads

[holdencaulfield]

nagpalit nako ng bendix brakepads (680php only!) sa banawe. putol na rin pala yung isang clamp bolt ng xwind ko (180php each OEM).
nagbago yung apak ko sa pedal. matigas tapos dahan dahang lumulubog. nableed naman ng husto.
question:
-totoo bang sira na raw yung repair kit nung preno ko at kailangan ng palitan kaya ganun?
-may masisira ba sa brakes kung hindi ko pa palitan ang repair kit?

ayos pa yung apak ko sa preno bago palitan. sabi nung mekaniko it has something to do with my new pads the reason why i feel the change now? how true?
TIA sa sasagot!

Drive it for a while. Sometimes pushing back the caliper piston can make things feel funny even after the system is bled.

Sir, did you also replaced your brake fluid?

[Retz]

Aside from bendix brake pads, what other brake pads brand would you recommend? except for RSpec of course, hindi daw kumakapit ang brake pag baha.

ebc, endless, power stop,hawk, project mu and brembo, pang performance level na ang mga ito and medyo pricey.

Akebono, Tanabe, etc.

Sir, mas mahal pa yan sa bendix general CT? nasa Php900 kasi price nun. I was just looking for an alternative sana. A good quality brake pads (need not be expensive) to do its job.

'eto naman po ang nangyayari sa kotse namin: when I have driven through any water or in the rain the right front brake produces a whistle sound.

is this also an indication for me to change the break pads? or it would be something else?

thanks in advance!

[Retz]

^

pag walang rani or water may whistling sounds pa rin ba?

[aremvy]

* sir Retz,

no whistling sound at all kapag wala pong o ulan o kapag di dumadaan sa may tubig.

[baludoy]

may indicator aka squealing sound din ba ang brake shoe kapag manipis na?

tinatanong kasi ako ng kaibigan ko (revo sasakyan niya) at hindi ko masagot ng panigurado since matagal na ako hindi nakagamit or naka maintain ng sasakyan na naka rear drum brakes

[beni23]

Kakapalit ko lang ng brake pads sa eve ko last monday, sobrang ingay na kasi. Although medyo makapal pa and can still do around 15k kms, pinalitan ko na kasi sobrang tigas. Baka masira pa rotors.

meron sir.....ang tawag nga lang don rivets o kaya yung mismong bakal na ng brake shoe. hehehehe

[baludoy]

^ so may tunog din? clarify ko lang hehe

[miked]

kaso nga lang sinisira na rin ang brake drum mo in the process kapag nagkaganun. madali pa magoverheat ang brake fluid.

regular inspection lang sa brakes para mamonitor ito. hindi naman ganun ka-intensive sa maintenance ang brake system kumpara sa makina kaya it pays to have it checked regularly (i-base na lang natin ang inspection by casa standards).

[baludoy]

^ thanks for the tip bro

will pass on the info. wala kasi alam sa auto iyon palibhasa rakenrol lifestyle kaya parating na-overcharge pag-pagawa ng sasakyan niya

May tunog brake shoe ko before upon release ng brake pero nung pinalinis ko nawala naman after....

mga sirs.. I need you opinions..


due for brake pads replacement na ako anytime soon..

nagpacheck ako ng brakepads last january at ito mga napansin ng mekaniko (servitek) sa auto ko:
1. malapit ng palitan yung brake pads ko (all 4 corners)
2. need daw i-reface yung rotor ko (costs 1800 a pair, front)

with regards sa refacing ng rotors, FL rotor has very minimal ridges (not grooves ah o ukit), FR rotor has some ridges, medyo nakakapa if you run across the surface using your fingers. RL and RR disc brakes is also ok. wala naman akong nararamdaman na pulsating sensation whenever I step on my brakes.. I also encounter no problems sa braking system ng car ko aside from creaking noise when releasing the brakes pag galing sa full-stop.

couple of questions:

1. do I really need to have my rotors refaced? if yes, is the quoted price for refacing it ay makatarungan?
2. actually, I am a little bit worried about refacing, ma eensure kaya nila na magiging pantay yung pag refacing nila (same thickness both pair)?
3. According to my mechanic, masyado daw abrasive yung stock brake pads ng toyota, medyo nadadamage.. totoo ba? Mas ok ba kung OEM disk pads na lang ako?
4. my mechanic recommended using Bendix brake pads. Gaano kaganda ang Bendix in terms of performance and longevity? aabot kaya yan ng at least 3 years (3 to 4 days a week usage)?
5. What variant of Bendix na ok na hindi masyadong pricey (except for metal kings)?
6. Paano pag nagpalit lang ako ng brake pads without even having my rotors refaced? kaya bang pantayin ng new brake pads yung irregularities ng rotor surface?

oo nga pala, ang zz ko ay 2009 Corolla Altis 1.8V with 58k km odo reading.

thanks in advance!
