Why Do I Need To Replace My Rear Brake Pads?

Disc brakes are the preferred type of brake for most personal vehicles, and nearly every Mercedes-Benz model is equipped with disc brakes on the front and rear. These brakes are named after the disc-shaped rotor that’s a key component of their functioning. When you step on the brake pedal, calipers will squeeze brake pads against the rotor, stopping your Mercedes-Benz. But, to avoid the downfalls of metal grinding against metal, these brake pads contain a friction lining that is designed to wear down. When the lining has worn thin enough, you will need to have the brake pads replaced. If the lining wears down entirely, you’ll begin to hear a grinding sound; this indicates that the metal backing is now rubbing against the rotors and causing damage.

When Do My Rear Brake Pads Need To Be Replaced?

There’s no exact time at which the rear brake pads need to be replaced. Instead, it’s best to rely on brake inspections. When you bring your Mercedes-Benz in for a brake inspection, our technicians will check the level of the brake pad lining. If it’s still in good condition, you’re good to go. If the lining is wearing thin, they will let you know so that you can have the brake pads replaced.

There is another way to tell. Most brake pads have built-in wear indicators. These are little tabs that become exposed when the lining is low enough, and they make a squealing noise when you step on the brakes. If you hear this, it’s time for a rear brake pad change as soon as possible.
