Rear brake pads are a key component of a vehicle's braking system, used to slow or stop the vehicle by applying pressure to the brake drums (rotors) mounted on the rear wheels. They absorb the vehicle's kinetic energy and convert it into heat, contributing to reduced speed or a complete stop.

1. Job :
- Friction is generated with the rear brake pads when the brake pedal is pressed, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy, thus reducing speed or stopping.
- They contribute to the distribution of braking force (usually 20-40% of the total braking, with the front brakes bearing the greater proportion due to the vehicle's weight being transferred forward during braking).
2. Signs of rear brake wear :
- Squeaking or whistling noise (when metal wear indicator is present).
- Reduced braking efficiency (longer stopping distance).
- Brake pedal vibration (if the pads are deformed).
- Dashboard alarm (in modern cars).
3. Maintenance and replacement :
- Periodic inspection : Every 15,000–20,000 km, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Replacement : When the friction layer thickness reaches 3 mm or less.
- Brake system cleaning : To prevent dust or rust buildup that affects performance.
4. Difference from front brakes :
- It withstands less thermal and mechanical stress compared to the front.
- They are often replaced less frequently (but depend on driving style and vehicle type).
