brake pads
Caliper's squeezing surfaces
Brake pads are the friction material in a disc brake system that press against the rotor to slow or stop a vehicle.
They wear down over time and require periodic replacement: The mechanic said my brake pads were nearly worn through.
Squealing or grinding noises often signal that brake pads need attention.
