Where Should The Brake Pad Wear Sensor Go?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2020
- Depending on the application, the brake pads will have mechanical or electronic wear sensors. But, where should the sensor go? In the case of mechanical squealer wear sensors, the location on the inboard, outboard pad can be different. In this video we cover where the sensor needs to be positioned.

This was horrible. I’m back to knowing nothing…
In most cars: put the pad with the wear squealer on the inside of the rotor. This will almost always ALSO place the wear squealer at the top of that inside pad. - if the pads are different inside and out, then the pad with a rattler may go on the outside but will also likely be on the top of the pad when installed there.
Why: inside pads wear faster under normal operation, wear a lot more when caliper pistols are seized. The top of the pad comes into contact with the rotor first so it can wear the most. Rattler is nearly always on the inside top edge of the pads for these reasons on normal brake calipers.
I'm certain mechanics understood that perfectly! But sorry to inform you that most people watching this video are not mechanics! Basic terminology like inside or outside, front or back, and a quick visual guide would have made this video 10/10.
2019 Ford Focus had the indicator on the trailing edge of the pad which seemed sensible to me as you don’t want the indicator being wedged between pad and disc
This is how you explain something that only you can understand.
😂😂😂😂
Once the friction material gets the coefficient of the divided ratio between the thickness of the remaining pads, then the obvious solution will be to place the outside edge of the wear sensors in relation to the rotor's relational diameter. Very simple language.
Totally cryptic and confusing explanation full of jargon!
Thanks for nothing. You're awsome
good explanation - thank you!
Thank you! Concise and to the point. No unnecessary talking!
My question for this video was, where is the squeek indicator located when installed correctly? I learned it is on the inside pad and the leading edge of the rotor. Thanks for the clarification.
When I bought my certified used Mazda CX-5 one tire in the back was at 32psi, another at 52. Upon opening up the wheels I discovered that both squealers we're not tucked in, so just stuck out and would never ever touch the rotors. Moreover, one of the pads was stuck at an angle so it was worn down almost to the metal on the bottom and was perfect on the top. Apparently that mechanic did not watch enough RUclips videos 😂
So the leading edge is the edge that the rotor meets first as the car is rolling forward. Basically if your caliper is mounted on the rear of the axle the leading edge will be on the bottom however, if your caliper is mounted on the front of the axle the leading edge will be on top.
If the purpose what that people won’t understand , you did a hell of job .
Inboard facing f t onto or back
You explain the decently, but you could’ve just showed us because you didn’t specify whether the indicator should go on the inside of the rotor, but facing up or facing down. See now you gonna make a whole Nother video just to specify that
Great video man thank you
Wrong! There isn’t a confirmed location. OEM and replacement as well as year made varies “squealer” placement. Furthermore, it’s more likely for the slides to stick than the caliper piston.
I agree, wear sensor locations can change. Check the service info.
@@andymarkel Yeah except I came here cause the service info says 2 different things for Honda CRV. One page says indicator on top and another page says indicator on bottom. WTF. My intuition tells me on top cause that will make the most noise when the wheel rotates forward. However, it may be that these are better when sounding in reverse. Who wants to drive with this constantly squealing.
what if your old pads didnt have them and the pads you just bought didnt have them connected to the pads... are they necessary? i have no clue where to put these lil #$%$^#$%#$~~!!!
You are clueless if you think that made any sense.
Thank you Andrew. I couldn't remember if the Squealer ( I always called them the wear indicator ) went on the leading edge of the trailing edge of the pad. When you have a 10 yr old vehicle, it's had a few brake jobs in its life. So, yes, the one I removed was on the leading edge and on the piston side of the caliper. ( or inward side ) After reading some of the negative comments, I found myself scratching my head in disbelief. What part of inward and leading edge don't these ppl understand ! Most of them probably can't tell time on an analog clock either, therefore they don't know Clock Wise (CW) from Counter Clock Wise (CCW). Or the difference between a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. 😂
Thanks again, 👍👍
I appreciate the video however I’m where sensor goes
Confused on
CLEAR AS MUD; PHAT LIL FINGER in some weird little motion holding 2 different pads WITH NO SENSORs; 'WASTED My time !! +
Well that was absolutely unhelpful. 😡
Wtf? Wow🤦
Absolutely no help
😂
How do I get this 2 minutes of my life back. What a waste.
This was not helpful at all.
No good info Drew
poor teacher
You don’t show what the video says.. 🤔🤮
Don’t worry fellas I figured it out since he gave a horrible explanation with no visuals to show…so you want the squealer (metal clip thing) on the opposite side of where your caliper pushes, for my car the silver clip goes towards the bottom. Hope this helped more than the video.
Thanks I learned complete nothing
What a load of unhelpful waffle.
Perfect example of a liberal.
My outside pads always worn out more. Sorry but useless video.
Basically inside or backside and on the bottom
