But now there are many kinds of friction plates in the market, and the quality of different friction plate brands is also different.
The genuine brake pad looks smooth and clean, with excellent material, no hard or soft, and has the advantages of balancing braking distance and long service life.
The quality of the brake pad is mainly determined by the material used, so it is difficult to identify the pros and cons with the naked eye, and the car owners are often deceived.
Identifying genuine brake pads requires special knowledge and skills to test, but there are still some small differences, which can let us distinguish the authenticity of brake pads. Here are some important distinguishing details:
1. Look at the packaging. The packaging of original accessories is generally standardized, unified and standard, and the printing is clear and regular, while the packaging and printing of fake and inferior products are relatively poor, so it is easy to find defects in the packaging;
2. Look at the color. The surface of some original accessories is specified with a certain color. If it meets other colors, it is fake and shoddy parts;
3. Look at the appearance. The printing or casting and marking of original accessories are clear and regular, while the appearance of fake and inferior products is rough;
4. Look at the paint. Illegal businessmen will simply process waste parts, such as dismantling, assembling, patching, painting and so on, and then sell them as qualified products, illegally obtaining high profits;
5. Look at the texture. The raw accessories are made of qualified materials according to the design requirements, and the fake and inferior products are mostly replaced by cheap and inferior materials;
6. Look at the craft. The appearance of inferior products is sometimes good, but due to poor manufacturing process, cracks, sand holes, slag inclusion, burr or bumps are easy to occur;
7. Look at the storage. If the brake pads are cracked, oxidized, discolored or aged, they may be caused by poor environment, long storage time and poor material itself.
8. Look at the joints. If the brake pad rivet is loose, degummed, the electrical parts joint is off welding, the paper filter element joint is disconnected, etc., it can not be used.
9. Look at the logo. Some regular parts are marked with some marks. Pay attention to the identification of production license and specified friction coefficient mark on the packaging. For products without these two marks, the quality of the products is difficult to guarantee.
10. Look at the missing. The normal assembly components must be complete and in good condition to ensure smooth installation and normal operation. Some small parts on the assembly are missing, which is generally "water goods", which makes installation difficult. The whole assembly parts are often scrapped due to the shortage of individual small parts.
