Front brake service on trucks
Front brakes on full-size trucks and SUVs do most of the stopping, so the pads wear faster than the rear set under typical use and the front brakes carry the weight shift during hard braking. Ceramic friction material is chosen for quiet operation and lower dust, which suits drivers who use the vehicle for commuting and everyday hauling. The pads work against the rotor, so the condition of that surface matters as much as the pad compound.
Changing front pads is a good time to check the caliper slides, the rubber boots and the hardware that holds the pads in place. Because mounting hardware is not included with this set, reuse only parts that are sound and corrosion-free, or buy new hardware. Front rotors are often resurfaced or replaced with new pads when grooves or heat marks show. Bed in the pads with a series of moderate stops and recheck the wear sensor at each service.
