2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pads in Sudbury, MA

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book service. A squeal or scrape can also signal wear, while a change in pedal feel or stopping performance should not be ignored. Inspection measures the pad material on all four corners and checks the rest of the system.

• Squeal or scrape while braking
• Grinding caused by lost friction material
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

The inspection measures remaining pad material before replacement decisions are made. If pads are needed, they are replaced with parts matched to the vehicle’s braking system. Rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition are assessed as part of the service because brakes wear as a system.

• Pad-material measurement on all four corners
• Replacement pads matched to the braking system
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and fluid condition

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops can shorten pad life because they increase braking demand. The vehicle’s 3,680-pound curb weight and 3,500-pound towing capacity also make condition-based inspection important. Measuring the remaining material on all four corners answers whether replacement is needed now or at a later visit.

• City traffic can increase braking frequency
• Towing and hills add braking demand
• Inspection measures actual remaining pad material

New pads should not be fitted while ignoring a rotor, caliper, hardware, or fluid concern that could affect braking performance. The service includes inspecting the rotors alongside the pads, so the condition found guides the repair decision. Running pads to the backing plate can turn a pad replacement into rotor replacement.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Backing-plate contact can damage rotors
• The inspection determines the required repair

Grinding means the backing plate is on the rotor, making this a stop-driving-and-book-it situation. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, and longer stopping distance also call for prompt inspection. Continuing to drive while ignoring worn pads can turn a pad replacement into rotor replacement and may affect the complete braking system.

• Stop driving if the brakes grind
• Book service for changed pedal travel
• Address longer stopping distance promptly
