OEM Jaguar Brake Pads

Your brake pads play an important role within your Jaguar vehicle's disc brake system. They work together with the brake calipers and brake rotors to produce the resistance that's needed to stop your vehicle.

What Your Brake Pads Do

When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic brake fluid is sent to the calipers. The pressure forces the calipers to clamp onto the rotors, which creates the friction that slows your wheels. The brake pads prevent the calipers and rotors from rubbing against each other and causing damage.

The Four Types of Brake Pads

Commonest are organic brake pads, which can be found on most cars and SUVs. That's because they're price-effective, easiest on the brake rotors, and extremely dependable. Trucks typically are equipped with either ceramic or metallic brake pads. Ceramic pads are best in wet conditions, produce less sticky brake dust, and are usually quietest. Metallic brake pads are heat-resistant and offer a firmer feel. Lastly, carbon fiber brake pads are usually reserved for performance vehicles and sports cars. They're temperature-resistant, extremely hardy, and offer outstanding stopping power.

Signs of Brake Pad Issues

Your brake pads take a lot of punishment, which means they can wear down. Signs of them going bad include:

• Grinding, squealing, or squeaking noises when you brake
• A vibrating brake pedal
• Taking longer to come to a complete stop
