Friction Surface: The brake pad serves as the primary contact point between the brake caliper and the brake rotor (also known as the brake disc). When you press the brake pedal, these pads create the necessary friction to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Heat Dissipation: During braking, the brake pads generate heat due to the friction with the rotor. The 45022-TVC-A02 pads are engineered to efficiently dissipate heat, preventing overheating and maintaining consistent braking performance.
Wear Indicator: These pads come equipped with a wear indicator (usually a small metal tab). When the pad material wears down to a certain level, this indicator makes contact with the rotor, producing a high-pitched squeal. This alerts the driver that it’s time to replace the pads.
