Rear Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are part of your vehicle's disc braking system. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake calipers push the brake pads against the brake rotors, which slows your Lexus down or brings it to a stop.

Rear Brake Pads and Maintenance

One of the vital braking system components is the rear brake pads that work with the front brake pads creating friction and resistance to forward momentum. Brake pads are a metal composite bonded by resin designed explicitly for creating friction. The high-friction material is held in place by a steel backing plate that connects to the caliper pistons that press brake pads into the rotors bolted to the wheels. This creates the intense friction and stopping power needed to stop a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds. The intense friction wears brake pads down, and they require replacement. It’s fairly common for brake pads to wear down at variable rates and vehicles to require rear brake pad replacement exclusively if the front pads have sufficient thickness.
