Brake pads are among the most important safety components in a car, and their quality and installation directly affect braking performance, quietness, and the lifespan of the braking system components. Therefore, we are committed to applying professional installation procedures to ensure the best possible result.
The importance of hob machining (brake disc)
The hobbing process ensures a flat, clean surface for optimal contact between the brushes and the disc, which helps to:
- Improving braking efficiency and reducing stopping distance.
- Prevent vibration or shaking when pressing the brakes.
- Prevent uneven wear of new carbon brushes.
- Reducing noises caused by irregularities in the disc surface.
Turning is only done if the thickness of the hob is within the safe limits according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The importance of installing a shim (sheet metal frame)
The backplate of the brake pads absorbs vibrations and reduces sound transmission to the caliper, resulting in:
- Reduce the squeaking and whistling sound.
- Better retention of the charcoal in place.
- A smoother feel and greater stability during braking.
The importance of using anti-noise grease specifically designed for brakes
Using sound-dampening grease in the right places (behind the carbon brush and at the points of contact with the caliper) helps to:
- Significantly reduce noise and vibrations.
- Protecting metal parts from rust and corrosion.
- Ensuring smooth movement of the brake pads and preventing abnormal sticking or friction.
Important note: Grease should not be applied to the friction surface of the brake pad or disc.
Why do we adhere to these procedures?
- For safe and quiet braking performance from the first use.
- To avoid the noises and vibrations common after incorrect installation.
- To extend the life of the brake pads and rotors and reduce future costs.
- To ensure a comfortable and safe driving experience.
