Are there regulations for replacement brake rotors and pads?
It is interesting to note that the federal government sets quality standards for brakes installed in new vehicles, but there are no regulations for replacement pads. In addition to this, a high portion of the complaints received by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are regarding brakes.
How are brake pads used in disk brakes?
Brake pads are one of three primary parts of disk brakes – the others are calipers and a rotor. The rotation of a car’s wheels is slowed by the friction created when two pads are pushed against either side of a rotor by a set of calipers.
