2014 Ford Mustang Brake Pads in Fort Worth, TX

Grinding means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book brake service. A technician measures the remaining material on all four corners and assesses the braking system as a whole.

• Squeal or scrape during braking
• Grinding noise from the brakes
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

This approach evaluates the components that work together to stop the vehicle. The inspection also helps determine whether the pads should be replaced now or at the next visit. Schedule service at David McDavid Ford for the assessment.

• Four-corner pad-material measurement
• Replacement pads matched to the braking system
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and fluid

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops all shorten pad life by increasing brake use. Ford’s maintenance schedule specifies no brake-pad replacement interval for this model year. Measuring the remaining material on all four corners shows whether replacement is needed now or later.

• City traffic increases repeated braking
• Hills and towing add demand to the system
• Four-corner measurement confirms remaining material

The technician inspects the rotors alongside the pads, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid. If worn pads have reached the backing plate, rotor damage may have occurred and can change the required service. Assessing the system together helps protect the life of the replacement pads.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Grinding can indicate rotor contact with the backing plate
• Related brake components are assessed together

Grinding indicates that the friction material is gone and the backing plate is on the rotor. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or longer stopping distance also warrant attention. A four-corner measurement identifies the condition and helps determine the next repair.

• Stop driving if the brakes grind
• Book service for longer stopping distance
• Have pads, rotors, hardware, and fluid assessed

Booking gets the remaining pad material measured on all four corners, so you know whether service is needed now or at the next visit. The dealership is at 300 West Loop 820 South, Fort Worth, TX 76108. Service options also include Mobile Service and Ford Pickup & Delivery for qualifying needs.
