In a disc braking system, brake pads serve to create friction against brake rotors to help you control your car's rate of deceleration. By design, your
Toyota Corolla brake pads will wear out as you use them, but restoring your car's safe braking is easy. Often, all it takes is a new set of brake pads, and AutoZone has everything you need to keep your car driving¿and stopping¿at its best.
Different Types of Brake Pads & What They Do
For most 2014 Corolla brake pad replacement, ceramic brake pads are popular since they offer premium stops on a dime, extended wear, and low noise. Semi-metallic brake pads are another option at a lower price point that perform very well but tend to be somewhat noisier. Organic brake pads are an economy option that are quiet and offer good pedal feel but wear out at a faster rate.
Regardless which brake pads you choose, they work the same way. At each wheel, a caliper containing two brake pads squeezes against a spinning brake rotor's inner and outer surfaces. The motion generates heat and friction, and your car's momentum is slowed or stopped altogether.
Signs of Bad Brake Pads & Rotors
When brake pads are showing signs of wear, squealing or grinding noises tend to emanate when you're braking. Bad brake rotors are often warped, leading to a steering wheel shimmy or a brake pedal pulsation. You might also notice your car pulls one way or the other when you brake, or it takes longer to stop your car. And if your brake pads are worn below 1/4" thick, it's time to change them right away.
You don't need to remortgage to afford your
brake replacement cost. You'll find excellent options at AutoZone for around $30 to $65 per brake pad set.
