A brake pad is a part of the disk brakes in your vehicle that help stop the vehicle. There are generally two brake pads that are made of steel with a material on them that provides friction. When the two pads are pressed together by other components of your brake system, then the friction created helps to stop the car. You can find brake pads at any auto parts store. They're also not difficult to install yourself.
