Chevy Impala Disc Brake Pads

Replacing the disc brake pads is one of the most common maintenance operations. Introduced in the 1950s, disc brakes spread rapidly as they were proven to provide reliable, effective, and smooth braking performance and, as they're exposed to the outside air, they are constantly cooled. So, they gradually superseded the drum brakes and today most vehicles are equipped with disc brake systems. Typically, the disc brake consists of a spinning rotor mounted on a wheel axle, a couple of calipers that squeeze the rotor, and a set of brake pads providing the required friction to slow down or stop the car. Pads are expendable parts of disc brakes that gradually wear out. The ninth generation of the Chevrolet Impala, produced between the late 2000s and the early 2010s, is commonly known to suffer premature brake pad wear. A set of quality disc brake pads, possibly accompanied with new aftermarket rotors, is usually enough to solve the issue.

Brake pads consist of a plate metal support and a special compound that is in charge of applying pressure and friction to the rotor, hence creating braking force. Today, several types of compounds are available, each carrying specific characteristics which make them suitable for a range of requirements.
