The disc brake system at the heart of your INFINITI Q50 features an intricate network of parts that all need to work together to slow, and eventually stop, the rotation of your tires. Your brake pads are among the most critical of those parts.
How Brake Pads Work
When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid through a series of brake hoses and brake lines. The pressure of that fluid causes the brake calipers to clamp against the brake rotors and generate the friction -- or resistance -- you need to stop. The brake pads cushion that contact, preventing damage to both the calipers and the rotors while also absorbing some of the heat created by braking.
Types of Brake Pads
Organic brake pads are most commonly used on cars such as yours, since they're affordable, reliable, and easiest on the brake rotors.
Metallic brake pads are firmer feeling and resist heat better. Ceramic brake pads are more dependable in wet conditions, and are the quietest type. Both metallic and ceramic are less likely to be used on your car. Lastly, carbon fiber brake pads are best when you've made your INFINITI Q50 performance driven. That's due to their tough, temperature-resistant nature. They also give you exceptional stopping capabilities.
How to Spot Bad Brake Pads
Eventually, even the highest quality brake pads can wear out. When that happens, you'll want to replace them as soon as you can, or else you risk your safety -- as well as that of others on the road. Signs of failure include:
- A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
- Squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises
- Needing more time and distance to come to a stop
- The brake pedal feels soft or squishy underfoot
