2015 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 service. An inspection measures the remaining material at all four corners and checks the rest of the system.

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

The replacement pads are matched to the vehicle’s braking system. Assessing the components together helps identify conditions that could shorten the life of new pads.

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

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops all shorten pad life. Measurement during inspection provides the useful answer because it shows how much material remains on each corner.

• City traffic increases brake use
• Hills and hard stops add wear
• Inspection measures remaining material

Rotors, pads, calipers, hardware, and fluid are assessed as a system. A rotor affected by grinding or other conditions may need attention, while the inspection determines the appropriate service.

• Rotors are inspected with the pads
• Grinding can damage rotor surfaces
• Condition determines the required work

Grinding means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is on the rotor, making this a stop-driving-and-book-it situation. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or slower stopping also calls for prompt inspection.

• Stop driving if the brakes grind
• Book service for scraping or squealing
• Have all four corners measured

The service team can measure the remaining pad material on all four corners and explain whether service is needed now or at the next visit. Visit the Fort Worth service department at 300 West Loop 820 South, Fort Worth, TX 76108.
