OEM Mopar Brake Pads

Brakes work by clamping their calipers to their rotors. That's what slows and stops wheels and tires. However, the calipers need brake pads to do it properly. After all, the friction the pads create is what does the slowing and stopping. Depending on the make and model you drive, you'll have one of four types of brake pads. Organics are the commonest. They're ideal for everyday driving, low-priced, reliable, easy on rotors, and they don't make a lot of dust. Ceramics are a little more durable. They're all-weather-friendly, quieter, and their dust won't stick to wheels as easily. Metallics work even better. They're heat-tolerant, they feel firmer, and they stand up to brake fade. Carbon fibers provide maximum stopping power. They're the highest-strength and they work exceptionally well at very high temperatures. Most cars and trucks use either organic or metallic brake pads. However, many sports cars and performance SUVs use carbon fiber or ceramic brake pads. That's because they disperse heat better. So, when do you replace them? Normally, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. However, it also depends on your driving. The best way to figure it out? Look for symptoms of your brakes going bad. Beyond a brake warning light on the dash, they include damaged pad surfaces and brake whining. Your vehicle may even start to take longer to stop. The worst signs, however, are vibration, which implies rotor warp and irregular pad wear, and grinding, which means real-time rotor damage. To determine if brake pads are the problem, do an inspection. If you need to buy new ones, get genuine Mopar. They're guaranteed compatible with your make and model.
