FORD BRAKE PADS

HOW BRAKE PADS WORK IN A BRAKE SYSTEM

Drum and disc brake pads are controlled by the driver operating the brake pedal. The pressure on the pedal is hydraulically reinforced, with the system controlling the brake pad as the carrier of the brake pedal. This is given by pressing the brake disc of the respective wheels to stop and brake them mechanically. The kinetic energy of the wheel is converted into thermal energy. After the braking process is complete, the heat can escape and the wheel is released again.

Every brake pad is subject to high stress in everyday driving. On the one hand, the lining must have high heat resistance due to the heat generated when the wheel brakes. In addition, it must be able to withstand the high mechanical loads caused by friction with the brake disc at full speed. Even higher demands are placed on the friction material and the function of the brake pads when they are manufactured as special models such as sports brake pads. However, wear and tear on this vehicle part over the course of months and years cannot be avoided.

REPLACE WORN AND DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS IN TIME

If the brake pads are worn, this is reflected in a reduction in the performance of the braking system and a longer braking distance. Wear is a gradual process over years, which is why many drivers do not consciously notice the differences in braking behavior. With every inspection, a critical look is taken at the condition of your brakes, otherwise they are checked at every main inspection/TÜV. Since safety on the road depends on your FORD's brake system being intact, you should invest in new brake pads or brake discs before you potentially fail the TÜV.

With experience in the automotive industry, it is possible to replace the brake pads on your own lifting platform. With the latest generation of FORD models, this is no longer so easy, as more and more electronics are used in the braking system. Clarification by a well-known car mechanic who knows the manufacturer and series may help. The exchange must always take place in pairs on the same axle, otherwise the vehicle threatens to drift off in one direction when braking. Also keep in mind that the new brake pads need some time to get used to in order to "grip" the brake discs properly.

In any case, it's worth buying brake pads for your FORD online and thus also having access to OE quality goods at low prices. Brand quality is indispensable, especially with a vehicle part like the brakes, in order not to make any compromises in terms of safety and to be able to expect a long service life from the brake pads.

A SMALL BRAND HISTORY OF CAR MANUFACTURER FORD

The car manufacturer was founded in 1903 by Henry Ford, and the company was traditionally based in Detroit. The US city and its surroundings are still the defining automotive region of the United States, where other domestic brand manufacturers can be found. A decade after Ford's founding, the introduction of assembly line production revolutionized automobile manufacturing that would have a lasting impact on the industry. Ford came to Germany in 1925 with a first plant in Berlin. Over the decades, Cologne has become Ford's largest location in Germany.

Ford is represented with its vehicles on all continents and offers a special portfolio of vehicles depending on the respective country. This also applies to Ford car parts, so at Q-Parts 24 you can mainly find and buy spare parts for series available in Germany. Many vehicles from the Ford product range have been offered in Europe for decades and are being presented in ever new generations. Established in this way, you are sure to find the right car parts for your series and your special model with us. Ford's great tradition in the field of motor sports should also not be concealed, the US company provides vehicles in a large number of racing series.
