VW Brake Pad Set - Akebono 7B0698451G

Product Information

Let's face it, brakes pads hands down are the most important components of our vehicle. Our brake pads allow us to stop our vehicles with a simple push of a brake pedal. Unfortunately they don't last forever and are considered to be a major wear item which must be replaced before they completely wear out and damage the brake rotor costing you more in repairs. Brake pads can be made of several materials such as a semi-metallic compound, ceramic compound, or organic. Brake pads are suggested to be checked frequently during oil changes or routine services for wear to ensure you have at least the minimum pad thickness as stated by the car manufacturer.

• Pulsating
• Grinding
• Squeaking
• Rotor Glazing
• Rotor Hot spots
• A noticeable lip on the rotors outer edge.
