Is it necessary to replace four brake blocks on a car at the same time?
11-13,2024
In general, it is not necessary to replace all four brake blocks on a car at the same time. However, depending on actual circumstances, it may be a good choice to replace the two front, rear, left, or right brake blocks together in many cases. Below are some considerations:
The degree of wear of the front and rear brake blocks: As the front wheels are usually under higher braking load than the rear ones, the front brake blocks may wear at a faster pace than the rear brake blocks. In the case of significant difference in the degree of wear between the front and rear brake blocks, only replacing the more severely worn pair may be advisable.
Replacement of a brake block pair: If only one brake block (such as the front left or front right block) is replaced, uneven and more deviant braking my occur. Therefore, many maintenance technicians would recommend replacement of the brake blocks on the same axle at the same time, such as the those for the front wheels or those for the rear wheels.
Performance and safety of the braking system: To ensure optimal performance and safety of the braking system, especially in bad weather conditions or in complex driving scenarios, replacing the brake blocks on the same axle at the same time leads to higher reliability.
Personal driving habits: Some driving habits, such habitual high-speed driving and frequent braking operations, may speed up the wear of brake blocks. In this case, replacing all brake blocks at the same time is a good choice.
Advantages of vika brake block:
1. Resistance to high temperature: The vika ceramic brake block is more resistant to high temperatures than other similar products, and can withstand temperatures up to 650°C during continuous braking. Even at high temperatures, the brake block maintains excellent braking performance without any deformation or melting. It features a high braking torque and a short braking distance.
2. Dust-free design: An advanced Italian ceramic formula is adopted for the vika brake block, effectively reducing dust accumulation and preventing rust and corrosion.
3. Unique technical formula:
An exclusively developed new resin is used to enhance the performance and quality of friction material adhesives;
The thermal conductivity of friction materials has been improved to speed up heat transfer and prevent performance degradation due to friction material decomposition;
Lightweight and high-performance porous fillers have been developed to decrease product density and reduce braking noise, leading to a noise index ranging between 7.2 and 7.9;
By improving the level of key process devices such as those for crushing, mixing, hot pressing, and heat treatment (solidification) as well as process operations, quality testing, and control measures, high product stability is realized.
4. Warranty for vika brake block: 60,000 kilometers.
5. All brake blocks are accompanied by the latest E-MARK certificate!
