RDA Disc Pads
RDA Disc Brake Pads offer a highly sought
after combination of value for money and excellent operating
performance. Released onto the Australian market in early 2004, the RDA
brand of economy brake pads is a result of exhaustive testing
throughout Australia under many and varied operating conditions. RDA
Disc Brake Pads deliver improved safety with enhanced braking
performance for a wide range of road going vehicles.
The materials used are asbestos free and
come in either non organic or semi metallic compounds depending on the
make and model of vehicle.
The excellent matching/mating characteristics with a wide range of
Brake Rotor manufacturers, ensures RDA Brake Pads will function as
needed, in most Australian road conditions.
WARNING SIGNS TO
LOOK OUT FOR WITH YOUR VEHICLE:
-
VIBRATION: In either steering
wheel, brake pedal or even the entire vehicle can be caused by the
disc rotor surface being scored, loose brake components or faulty
steering components.
-
HARD OR LOW (SOFT) BRAKE PEDAL:
Possible causes are restricted brake lines, frozen calipers or
wheel cylinders, or even damaged brake linings. Soft brake pedal
indicates adjustment required or more serious problems.
-
GRAB: Low foot pressure causing
brakes to grab is a sign of contamination of the braking surface or
a component getting ready to fail - usually in an extreme braking
situation.
-
PULL OR DRAG: if your vehicle
pulls to one side when braking, possible causes are low tyre
pressure, frozen callipers or brake adjustment required. Drag is
caused by your brakes failing to release, which leads to poor
economy and eventually brake failure.
-
SQUEAK OR SQUEAL: some noise is
expected however excessive squealing, grinding or chatter requires
attention. Correct fitment procedure by experienced brake
technicians is paramount in eliminating these noises.
All of these are early warning signs that
your brakes need attention.
PREPARATION & INSTALLATION
-
Ensure rotor surface is clean of all
foreign materials and meets with the manufacturers minimum
thickness requirements.
-
Avoid sudden braking for the first 100kms after fitting RDA Brake
Pads to allow them to bed-in.
-
Correct bedding-in procedure is as follows:
Accelerate to 60 km/h and apply brakes with moderate to firm
pressure and slow to 10km/h. Then accelerate back to 60km/h and
repeat the process above 7-8 times. This will ensure you get the
maximum use from your RDA Brake Pads.
