Volvo V40 Replacement Wear Resistant Graphite Front Brake Linings
DukeMicah 
8 I had always felt that the brakes were abnormal before. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to adjust the brakes to make it convenient for travel and worry about traveling during the New Year.
I changed it at the auto repair shop near my home. The weather is getting colder and a little deserted
Drive into the workstation and prepare for work
On the recommendation of a friend, I bought a set of graphite brake pads made by wear-resistant people. I heard that it will not damage the disc and has better noise control. After all, it is a Spanish brand.
I was a little disappointed when I opened it and saw it. The effect of this film was better than nothing. Fortunately, the pieces and parts inside were neat and intact.
The teacher who had made an appointment directly took the position and removed the tires first
You can see that the old pads have been worn very thin. I have average driving habits. I heard that some car owners can drive 100,000 kilometers before replacing the pads. Old drivers, I guess the brake pads must be of excellent quality.
Remove the caliper and prepare to replace the old brake pads
Looking at the disk carefully, there was a scratch. I was wondering if the abnormal noise I make in normal times had something to do with this?
Remove the outer packaging and stand in a row
Look at the other side, the overall workmanship and texture look good
The master said that in fact, this piece can still walk, but it’s not a pity to change it. After all, it has been worn so thin.
Make a comparison between the old and the new film. The new film has been chamfered to more closely match the brake disc, which should also relieve the abnormal noise to a large extent.
When the new film is installed, it fits tightly and is very solid
Also arrange on the other side
The brake calipers are also in place
You can see from this angle that the whole surface fits very well and the new film is also very thick, so the calipers had to be pressed back at the beginning.
This time, I only changed the front film, but I thought that the back film should be able to travel more than half of it, so I didn’t change it. It was quickly completed in less than half an hour
Regarding the choice of brake pads, I have always wanted to use the original ones back before, and I still believe in the original ones. However, many friends say that the original ones are also processed on behalf of the company, and the quality may not be the best, let alone the original ones I used before. The original ones have abnormal brake sounds.
So I changed to a set of foreign brand auxiliary factory brake pads. I was originally worried about whether there would be a problem, but after driving for a while after getting on the bus, I dispelled this worry. At present, the brake feet feel stable and moderately soft. The most important thing is that there is no brake noise, and the quality and performance of the wear-resistant wear are quite reliable. However, it has not reached its best condition, which is normal. After all, the running-in period has not passed yet. Let’s hope that the effect will get better and better in the future.
