coming from the wheel area. Many times this indicates that significant damage may have already begun. By following a couple of tips vehicle owners can avoid

Normal Wear And Tear
The wear and tear of brake pads vary by vehicle. A good rule of thumb is to replae the pads between 30,000 to 40,000 miles.
Brake pads are relatively inexpensive, compared to other types of brake repair, especially a complete brake replacement, so take care of them early on.
Strange Noises
One of the biggest tell-tale signs brake pads need replacing is a grinding noise coming from a wheel. This grinding noise is
from the brake calipers scraping against the rotors. Most of the time this means the pad has worn down completely, and will requires replacing right away.
This could quickly turn a simple changing of the pads into a serious problem. Letting the grinding go on will result in the rotors and calipers needing
replacement. This can easily turn into a thousand dollar repair bill.
Keeping a car in good running condition is always a good idea. Making sure the necessary brake replacement is performed at
the right time will definitely save heartache and money.
