2020 Honda Ridgeline Brake Pads

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book the vehicle for service. A measurement at all four corners determines how much pad material remains and whether wear is even.

• Squeal or scrape when braking
• Grinding noise during stops
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

The replacement pads are matched to the vehicle’s braking system. Assessing the related components matters because brakes wear as a system, and ignoring a damaged rotor, caliper, hardware issue, or fluid concern can shorten the life of the new pads.

• Four-corner pad material measurement
• Replacement pads matched to the braking system
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and fluid

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops can shorten pad life because they increase brake use. There is no single mileage figure that applies to every driving pattern. Measuring the remaining material on all four corners, along with inspecting the rest of the system, identifies whether service is needed now or at a later visit.

• City traffic can increase brake use
• Towing and hills add braking demand
• Four-corner measurement shows remaining material

Rotors are inspected alongside the pads, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid. A rotor condition found during inspection can affect the recommended repair, while a sound rotor may not require replacement. Replacing pads while ignoring a rotor or other related concern can reduce the life of the new braking components.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Calipers and hardware are assessed as part of the system
• Brake fluid condition is checked

Grinding indicates that the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, which can reduce braking performance and increase damage. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or longer stopping distance also calls for prompt inspection. A technician can measure the pads and assess the complete system.

• Grinding means the friction material is gone
• Longer stopping distance requires prompt attention
• Stop driving and book service when grinding occurs
