2019 Nissan Maxima Brake Pads in Mesa, AZ

A squeal or scrape may signal that the pad material is getting low. 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 on all four corners.

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

The replacement pads are matched to the vehicle’s braking system. The inspection also covers the rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition because brakes wear as a system. These findings show whether the vehicle needs pad service now and whether other components need attention.

• Pad-material measurement on all four corners
• Replacement with system-matched brake pads
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and fluid

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops can shorten pad life. Driving conditions and braking habits vary, so measuring the material on all four corners is the practical way to determine whether replacement is needed now or at a later visit. The vehicle’s service history can add useful context.

• City traffic can increase braking demand
• Hills and hard stops can accelerate wear
• Four-corner measurement shows remaining material

Pad service includes inspecting the rotors along with the calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Running pads to the backing plate can turn a pad replacement into a rotor replacement. Assessing the braking system together helps avoid fitting new pads while ignoring a condition that could shorten their life.

• Rotors are inspected during brake pad service
• Grinding can indicate backing-plate contact
• Replacement decisions are based on the condition found

Grinding means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is on the rotor. A squeal, scrape, longer pedal travel, or longer stopping distance also calls for attention. Pads, rotors, hardware, calipers, and fluid should be assessed together before continued driving is considered.

• Stop driving when grinding is present
• Book service for scraping or unusual brake noise
• Have all four corners measured and inspected
