Saturn LW Brake Pads can vary a great deal in terms of quality and price. In addition, many factors can come into play as far as how long a set of brake pads will last. Now, if you've been noticing an obnoxious and embarrassing squeal whenever you apply the brakes recently, it means your Saturn LW Brake Pads are wearing out.

It is possible that your brakes will continue to function quite well for some time after you start hearing this noise. If you attempt to ignore it however, it will simply grow worse, until one day it disappears altogether.

In its place will be an ugly grinding noise. This is the sound of metal on metal, and is NOT a good thing - in fact, your brake calipers are starting to dig into your rotors.

Brake pads are literally that - pads for the metal rotors. Although the materials from which they are made vary from one manufacturer to another and is usually proprietary, they generally contain some mixture of steel wool and various types of resin. In the case of better quality brake pads, Kevlar - the material from which bullet-proof vests are made - is included. You can extend the life of your brake pads by developing good driving habits - avoid sudden, hard stops, and when descending hills, shift into a lower gear rather than ride the brakes (the rule of thumb is to go down the hill in the same gear in which you climbed it).
