Front Brake Pad Replacement

Front Brake Pads, Routine Inspection & Maintenance 101

The Honda braking system has brake components at each wheel location including calipers, rotors, and brake pads. The brake pads at the front wheel assemblies handle more weight, friction, and heat compared to rear brake pads due to the physics involved. It is for this reason that front brake pads generally wear out faster and often need to be replaced twice as many times as those in the rear across the life of a vehicle. We recommend following Honda’s recommendation for brake pad inspections at the specified schedule; however, it is equally important to schedule a brake inspection with the appearance of warning indicators or worn-out pads.

Indicators of Worn-Out Brake Pads

If your Honda car or SUV experiences any of these indicators of worn pads, it is an excellent response to schedule an inspection and brake pad replacement as needed:

• Audible noises while braking described as squealing, screeching or eardrum-piercing
• Shaking inside the cabin or vibration in the brake pedal when braking
• Dashboard brake system warning light
• The brake pedal has a different, harder or softer, feeling
• Grinding noise signals metallic grinding with totally worn-out pads
