DB It's a common assumption that brake pads and discs should always be replaced together, but that's not necessarily the case.
Why they're assessed individually
The condition and measurements of pads and discs need to be considered separately. If the discs remain serviceable, replacing them unnecessarily makes little sense.
When replacing both makes sense
If discs are excessively worn or damaged, fitting new pads while ignoring defective discs isn't sensible either, since the two components work together.
How the decision gets made
- Measuring disc thickness against specification
- Checking for scoring, cracking or uneven wear
- Assessing pad thickness and condition
- Considering how the vehicle is driven and used
DB Autos will inspect the components and advise on the appropriate repair. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
