The application of brake pads has some advantages such as a relatively long service life and the ability to balance the braking distance. However, there are many types of friction pads on the market now, and the quality of different friction pads is also different.
Genuine brake pads look smooth and neat, with excellent materials, not too hard or soft, and have the advantages of being able to balance the braking distance and long service life. The quality of brake pads is mainly determined by the material used, so it is difficult to distinguish the pros and cons with the naked eye, and car owners are often fooled. It takes special knowledge and skills to test out genuine brake pads, but there are still some subtle differences that allow us to distinguish the authenticity of brake pads. The following editor will explain some important details of the distinction:
1. Look at the packaging. The packaging of original accessories is generally more standardized, with unified standard specifications, and clear and regular printing, while the packaging of counterfeit products is relatively crude, and it is often easy to find flaws in the packaging;
2. Look at the color. Some original accessories specify a certain color on the surface. If other colors are encountered, they are counterfeit and inferior spare parts;
3. Look at the appearance. The printing or casting and markings on the surface of original accessories are clear and regular, while the appearance of counterfeit products is rough;
4. Check the paint. Illegal merchants will simply process the waste accessories, such as disassembly, assembly, splicing, painting, etc., and then sell them as qualified products to illegally obtain high profits;
5. Check the texture. The materials of original accessories are qualified materials according to design requirements, and counterfeit products are mostly made of cheap and inferior materials;
6. Check the craftsmanship. Although the appearance of inferior products is sometimes good, due to poor manufacturing process, cracks, sand holes, slag inclusions, burrs or bumps are prone to occur;
7. Check the storage. If the brake pads have problems such as cracking, oxidation, discoloration or aging, it may be caused by poor storage environment, long storage time, poor material itself, etc.
8. Check the joints. If the brake pad rivets are loose, degummed, the joints of electrical parts are desoldered, and the joints of paper filter elements are detached, they cannot be used.
9. Check the logo. Some regular parts are marked with certain marks. Pay attention to the production license and the designated friction coefficient mark on the packaging. The quality of products without these two marks is difficult to guarantee.
10. Check for missing parts. Regular assembly parts must be complete and intact to ensure smooth installation and normal operation. Some small parts on some assembly parts are missing, which are generally “parallel imports”, which makes installation difficult. Often, the entire assembly part is scrapped due to the shortage of individual small parts.
