2019 Ford Edge Brake Pads

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book service. A measurement at all four corners determines how much material remains and whether wear is even.

• Squeal or scrape while braking
• Grinding from the braking system
• Longer stopping distance or pedal travel

The inspection covers rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Brakes wear as a system, so reviewing these components together helps determine whether pad replacement alone addresses the condition found. Schedule service for a complete assessment.

• Pad measurement at all four corners
• Replacement pads matched to the braking system
• Rotor, caliper, hardware, and fluid inspection

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops all shorten pad life by increasing braking demand. The practical answer comes from measuring the remaining material during inspection and reviewing the condition of the complete braking system.

• Frequent city stops increase wear
• Hills and towing add braking demand
• Inspection measures remaining pad material

Technicians inspect the rotors alongside the pads for conditions that could affect braking or the life of the new parts. Calipers, hardware, and brake fluid are assessed as well, because replacing one component while ignoring another can shorten the life of the repair.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Calipers and hardware are checked
• Fluid condition is reviewed with the system

Grinding means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is on the rotor, which can turn pad wear into rotor damage. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or slower stopping also warrant an inspection before normal driving continues.

• Grinding means the backing plate is contacting the rotor
• Longer stopping distance signals a safety concern
• Brake inspection measures the remaining material
