Buick Encore Brake Pads
You already know that your brakes stop your Buick Encore. At your end of things, it's not very complicated. You apply pressure to brake pedal, and your wheels begin to slow. Use enough pressure and you come to a full stop. However, the process itself is a bit more involved.
When you press the brake pedal, that lets the master brake cylinder know to send brake fluid to the brake calipers. Those calipers press against the brake rotors to create the resistance that slows the rotation of your wheels. However, since your calipers and rotors are made of metal, direct contact between the two would cause significant damage. That's where your brake pads come in.
The brake pads cushion the contact between the calipers and rotors, preventing the unpleasant screeching of metal-on-metal and keeping all parts protected. Over time, though, the heat and pressure of braking can cause your pads to wear down. That's not good, since it reduces your ability to stop as quickly as you might need. If you hear that screeching, grinding, or squealing, it's time to check your brake pads. You'll also want to take a look if you notice that the brake pedal feels softer or more squishy than normal.
OEM Brake Pads are Best for Your Buick Encore
You can expect your factory-installed brake pads to last for up to 50,000 miles. However, your driving style and traffic conditions can reduce that time frame significantly. Fortunately, you don't usually need to replace all four sets of brake pads at the same time. Instead, plan on replacing them in pairs, either front or back, to ensure consistent performance. Using genuine Buick brake pads is also the smart way to go. Find what you need in our online auto parts center. Buy now and save!
