2021 Ford Expedition Brake Pads in Fort Worth, TX

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate may be contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book service. Measurement on all four corners determines how much pad material remains. A prompt inspection can also assess related brake components before wear spreads.

• Squeal or scrape when braking
• Grinding caused by lost friction material
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

The inspection covers the rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Pads, rotors, hardware, and fluid are assessed together because replacing one component while ignoring another can shorten the life of the new part. Schedule an appointment for a complete brake assessment.

• Measurement of remaining pad material at all four corners
• 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. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule calls for brake-system inspection every 10,000 miles. Measuring the remaining material on all four corners shows whether service is needed now or at a later visit.

• City driving can increase repeated braking
• Towing and hills can place greater demand on the system
• Pad measurement provides the vehicle-specific answer

The brake service includes inspecting the rotors along with the pads, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid. Running pads to the backing plate can turn a pad replacement into a rotor replacement. Assessing the system together helps determine the work needed for proper braking operation.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Backing-plate contact can damage rotor surfaces
• Brake components should be evaluated as a system

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. David McDavid Ford can measure the pads and assess the complete brake system.

• Stop driving if the brakes grind
• Book service for changed pedal travel or stopping response
• Have pads, rotors, hardware, and fluid assessed together
