Does it matter which way brake pads go on?
If there aren’t any arrows, install the brake pad so the crescent cut-out is on the leading edge of the pad, running horizontally across the brake disc. If the pad is fitted in the opposite direction you will experience a lot of high-pitch squealing noise from your brakes.
What direction do brake pad squealers go?
The squealer should always point toward the disc. That way they work is, as the pad wears, the squealer gets closer and closer to the disc.
Which brake pad goes on the inside and outside?
The L pads go on the left side of the calipers (outside pad on the drivers side, inside pad on the passenger side) and the R pads go on the right side (inside of the drivers caliper, outside of the passenger one).
How do I check my brake pads?
You might need a flashlight to get a good look at the brake pad. If the pads look thin, less than 1/4″, it might be time to get them replaced. On some brake pads, you might see a wear indicator slot down the center of the pad. If the slot is gone or just barely visible, it’s time for new brake pads.
Can you put brake pads in backwards?
If you put the backing plate against the rotor, instead of the friction pad side, your brakes will barely work, be incredibly noisey, and your rotor will be ruined very quickly. If you didn’t immediately notice this when first applying your brakes, you probably don’t know enough about your car to operate it safely.
How do I know which side my brake caliper is on?
A Right Hand Leading caliper (RL) will mount on the right side of the car, on the front edge of the brake rotor; a Right Hand Trailing caliper (RT) will mount on the rear edge of the brake rotor.
Does the brake pad with the tab go on the inside or outside?
No. It really doesn’t matter. Generally you want to get the pad so the wear indicator will make contact WITH the turn of the rotor instead of against it, but if you don’t its not a big deal.
