Porsche Cayenne Brake Pads

When you drive a high-performance vehicle like the Porsche Cayenne, stopping is just as important as acceleration which is why excellent brakes are necessary. The brake pads press against the rotor surface to create friction, causing your vehicle to slow down in a hurry. These parts are going to wear out as they're used, but that's their intended purpose. When you need to install new Porsche brakes, you'll find what you need at AutoZone.

What Causes Failing Brakes?

The main way that Porsche Cayenne brakes fail is with brake pad wear. The friction material rubs away a little at a time, and over thousands of miles, they'll wear out. However, a sporty vehicle like the Cayenne could experience brake fade from excessive heat buildup, especially after continuous hard braking. The rotors can also warp, or the friction material can delaminate from the backing plate in rare circumstances.

Symptoms Of A Bad Failing Brakes

When you need brake pads, Porsche Cayenne models will exhibit signs. You could have vibration when you press the brake or squealing and grinding sounds as you try to stop. Your pedal can feel harder than normal and your stopping distance can increase substantially. When they're worn out, you could get a warning on your dashboard too. If you need new brakes, getting a new set installed right away is key.
