Toyota 4Runner Disc Brake Pads

Originally created for racing, disc brake systems were first used on production cars in the 1950s, and by the 1970s, most autos were equipped with disc brakes. Using calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against the rotor, they create friction needed to stop a vehicle. In comparison with their drum counterparts, disc brakes provide better stopping power, run cooler, and are more resistant to fade. Since disc brake pads are in constant contact with the brake rotors, they are susceptible to wear and tear more than other parts. After the years of hard use, they eventually wear out and require replacement. And since the design of the brake system is poor on the otherwise reliable Toyota 4Runner (typically causing warped rotors and seized caliper pistons), all of its parts should be taken proper care of.

Squealing sounds from your brakes indicate excessively worn-out brake pads that need to be replaced as soon as possible. If the brake pedal is pulsating or brake response is poor, don’t postpone the repair as the brake pads of your Toyota 4Runner are failing.
