Brake pad wear indicator — Brake pad squealer
Brake pad wear indicator — How does it work, where does it go?
Brake pad wear indicators attach to the inboard pad on the leading edge; the edge that first contacts the rotor when moving forward. Its job is to contact the rotor and make a high pitched squeal once the friction material wears down to 2-3mm.
