OEM Hyundai Brake Pads

What Are Brake Pads?

Brake pads are a friction material that sits on either side of a rotating disc (or drum), similar to how two pieces of sandpaper press together when rubbed together. When the brakes are applied, the friction between the disc and the pad causes your Hyundai model to slow down. Most cars come with semi-metallic or ceramic brake pads, but other types are available, including organic and sintered metal pads.

How Do They Work?

When brake pressure is applied, the caliper clamps down on both sides of the rotor, which causes friction between them. The brake pads absorb this heat, dissipating it away from the rotor. This helps to keep your brakes cool and prevents them from becoming too hot during heavy braking situations. It also helps to reduce wear on your rotors by providing a cushioning effect for them.

When Should You Replace Them?

In general, it is recommended that you replace your Hyundai brake pads every 30,000 miles depending on how much driving you do. If you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or drive in city traffic often, then it may be necessary for you to replace them sooner. It's also important to inspect your brakes regularly for wear and tear. You'll want to check for signs of damage, like cracking, warping, or splitting.
