The brake pads are a part of the braking system. Many people do refer to the brake pads as "the brakes", but you'll need to make sure the rotors and calipers are working properly as well. Additionally, The term 'brake pads' are associated with 'disc brake' systems. Earlier vehicles had 'brake shoes' which were associated with 'drum brakes'. Depending on the year of the car, front brakes could mean either and is a generic term.
If they are the exact same size yes, they will work, but normally they are not as large as the front brakes pads and will not fit.
If you have disk brakes in front as well as in rear, yes it's the same procedure.
Brake pads are a component of the braking system in a vehicle, not the same as the brakes themselves. Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors to slow or stop the vehicle. The brakes refer to the entire system, including components like the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid.
it the same on all brakes,the only difference is tork bolts. 65;
It would be unusual to have the same brake pads front and back. That is not to say it does not happen but normally the brake pads on the driven wheels are bigger than the passive wheels.
More then likely your front brakes are worn, take it in to get it serviced. Needs new brake pads and rotors turned.
Can someone help me with the same promble.. how do you change the front brake pads and what tools do you need to do the job
Should be the same as rear brake linings or pads
Same as EVERY CAR MADE EVER. Two per tire. ========================================== Actually I have owned cars that had drum brakes on the front of the vehicle
The brake pads on an Olds Sierra are a wearable part. When replacing brakes it is better to change both fronts or both rears at the same time.
There is a set screw on the back of the Caliper that you turn to compress the piston. You use the same set screw to adjust the brakes when you change brake pads.
Same as on every other car.
