Original Nissan Brake Pads

The disc brake system in your Nissan vehicle depends on the brake pads doing their job. That job? Shield the brake calipers and brake rotors from making direct metal-on-metal contact with each other.

The Four Types of Brake Pads

Cars and SUVs usually come with organic brake pads, since they're affordable, reliable, and easiest on your rotors. Trucks usually feature either metallic or ceramic brake pads. Metallic pads are firmer and better able to withstand heat. Ceramic pads are quieter and generally perform better in on wet roads. Lastly, there are carbon fiber brake pads. These are usually reserved for sports cars and high-performance models, due to their tough, temperature-resistant nature.

How to Spot Failing Brake Pads

You can expect to get up to 50,000 miles of service from your brake pads, though your driving style and commute conditions may affect that lifespan. Signs of problems include:

• The brake pedal vibrates or bounces under your foot
• You hear a squealing or squeaking noise coming from the brakes
• Your Nissan vehicle requires more distance and time to come to a complete stop
• You notice a grinding sound when you brake
• Your brake pedal feels soft or squishy underfoot
