How To Choose The Right Brake Pads

Brake Pads And Shoes Are Different

There are two different types of brakes in common use in the United States. Disk brakes tend to be used on the front wheels of vehicles, which manage more stress as vehicles brake downhill. Drum brakes are used for rear wheels, which take less stress. Easier to construct, drum brakes are considered an economical choice for rear wheels, but more manufacturers are using disk brakes on all four wheels. Disk brakes use pads, while drum brakes use shoes.
