Alfa Romeo Brake Pads

Have you been hearing a hideous squeal emitted by your vehicle’s brakes whenever you step on the brake pedal? That could be a bad sign, telling you that one or more of the braking components in your Alfa Romeo may be needing attention. Most probably, that noise is emitted by your Alfa Romeo brake pads as they come in contact with your Alfa Romeo brake rotors. To be sure, you better inspect these braking parts to diagnose the problem.

Brake pads are the primary friction components in the brakes. They are employed to clamp against the surface of the brake rotors to generate the friction needed to stop your vehicle. Brake pads consist of friction materials which are bonded to a metal shoe. Depending on the friction materials used in their construction, they can be classified as organic, metallic, or semi-metallic. Organic brake pads are the softest among these, thus their suitability to only light braking. Metallic pads, on the other hand, are good for hard braking. They are employed among race cars and are commonly used in high performance driving. The semi-metallic pads come in between these two, the most widely used among various automobiles.

As the brake pads clamp against the rotors, some of their friction materials are removed. Through time, they are bound to get thinner. Modern brakes are equipped with mechanisms that emit a squeal when the brake pads already reach their minimum thickness. This way, you will be warned to replace them. Otherwise, their friction materials will totally disappear and the metal shoe will be the part that will come in contact with the rotors, extremely wearing these discs. So if you hear that squealing sound, that could be a warning. Check your Alfa Romeo brake pads and see if their friction materials are already starting to totally disappear.

If you find out that such is the case, then shop for your replacement Alfa Romeo brake pads from Parts Train. Parts Train is an online auto parts store that offers a wide array of auto parts and accessories. We are available 24 hours a day, so you can shop anytime you want.
