GMC Canyon Brake Pads
Your GMC Canyon has a disc brake system that's responsible for slowing the rotation of your wheels and tires. Your brake pads are a crucial part of that system, along with the brake calipers and brake rotors.
How it works is simple. When you press the sole of your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid through brake hoses and brake lines. The pressure of the fluid forces the calipers to close the brake pads onto the rotors and create the friction – or resistance – required to slow your truck.
The Four Types of Brake Pads
Trucks such as yours typically feature either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic brake pads feel firmer and resist heat better. Ceramic brake pads are reliable in wet road conditions and are quieter than other kinds.
Most cars and SUVS typically have organic brake pads. They're lower cost, easy on the rotors, and offer dependable performance. Lastly, there are the carbon fiber brake pads most commonly reserved for sports cars and performance vehicles. They offer superior stopping power due to their tough, temperature-resistant nature.
How to Spot Failing Brake Pads
Brake pads don't last forever, though. Fortunately, there are signs that yours are going bad and need to be replaced. These include:
- Your brake pedal vibrates or bounces
- You notice squealing or squeaking sounds from the brakes
- It takes longer to stop
- You hear grinding noises when you brake
- Your brake pedal feels exceptionally soft underfoot
