🔨Rust protection and galvanization play a crucial role in brake pad durability
❓Consumers need to be aware of misleading aftermarket brake pad claims and make informed choices
Do all aftermarket brake pads use mechanical attachment?
—No, not all aftermarket brake pads use mechanical attachment. Some rely solely on adhesives.
Can high temperatures affect the performance of brake pads?
—Yes, high temperatures can degrade the adhesives in brake pads, compromising their effectiveness.
What is rust jacking?
—Rust jacking is a phenomenon where rust starts to creep in behind the friction material of brake pads, eventually splitting it from the backing plate.
Are all brake pads galvanized for rust protection?
—No, not all brake pads are galvanized for rust protection. It is a feature offered by some manufacturers, like NRS brakes.
How can consumers make informed choices when selecting aftermarket brake pads?
—Consumers should research and choose reputable brands, pay attention to the attachment method, and consider factors such as heat resistance and rust protection.
