How Do Fluid And Friction Change Brake Pedal Feel?
Chances are your foot will know the condition of a vehicle’s brakes and the quality of the brake pads before your mind puts it all together. Consider this: Stopping a 4,000-lb. vehicle requires a driver to press on a pedal to generate friction at the wheels. What happens in between the pedal and pads can determine how much pressure the driver is required to apply to stop the vehicle in a safe distance.
Brake Pad Contamination From Friction And Dust
Two forms of brake pad contamination can occur once a brake pad is pressed into a rotor and friction is generated.
IndyCar Names Performance Friction Corp. Exclusive Brake Supplier Beginning In 2017

Brake Pads: Dangerous Delamination Of Friction Lining Material
Both field and laboratory test results repeatedly prove that the friction lining on a disc brake pad can wear to within a millimeter of the mating surface of the disc brake shoe without affecting brake function, provided the entire surface area of the friction lining material remains intact during contact with the rotor.
Brake Pads: Understanding Friction And Formulations
How the components in the friction material shear, break and interact during braking can determine a pad’s friction level, noise and wear characteristics.
