Brake pads are key components of a disc brake system, gripping against brake rotors to bring your car to a stop. You should never have to question your ability to stop, yet your
Nissan Rogue brake pads will eventually need to be changed due to wear. Bringing your Rogue's braking performance back to normal is an easy job, often taking only a new set of brake pads. At AutoZone, we have What It Takes To Do The Job Right.
What Are Brake Pads All About?
On the 2017 Nissan Rogue, brake pads and rotors are used at all four wheels. The brake rotor spins at the same rate as the wheel, and a brake caliper fitted with a pair of brake pads is mounted with brake pads on opposite sides of the rotor face. When the brake pedal is pressed, the caliper forces the brake pads against the rotor and the resulting friction causes your SUV to slow down.
The brake pads consist of a backing plate and friction material of differing substances bonded to it. Organic brake pads provide quiet stops with easy pedal pressure at an entry-level price while semi-metallic brakes are more performance-oriented and last longer but can be noisy at times. Ceramic pads are a common type for 2017 Rogue brake pad replacement, offering quiet stops and aggressive performance with long-lasting wear.
Signs That Brake Pads & Rotors Are Bad
Brakes are designed to wear out, and that means you need to watch for signs they'll need to be changed soon. Worn brake pads tend to squeal or grind when you press the pedal, and you may eventually notice longer stopping distances or a strange pull to one side when braking. Bad brake rotors are often corroded or warped and cause a vibration in the steering wheel or pulsation in the brake pedal when stopping.
If a visual inspection yields brake pads worn below 1/4" in remaining friction material, it's time to change the pads.
How much does it cost to replaced brake pads? You'll find good options from $25 to $65 for a set.
