What is the purpose of a brake wear lead?

A brake wear lead is a small sensor that attaches to your brake pad. It makes contact with the rotor when the pad material is nearly gone, creating a squealing sound to alert you that the pads need to be replaced.

How do I know if I need to replace my brake wear leads?

You'll typically hear a high-pitched squealing sound coming from your brakes when you apply them. This indicates that your brake pads are worn down and the wear leads are making contact with the rotor.

Do these wear leads come with new brake pads?

No, these are sold separately from brake pads. They are a component that attaches to the brake pad and is designed to be replaced when it triggers the warning sound.

About this part

Product Details

EBC is known for making a wide range of brake components, and these rear brake wear leads are a simple but important part of your braking system. They're designed to fit your 2000-2006 BMW X5, specifically the 3.0 model. Think of them as an early warning system for your brakes.

When your brake pads wear down close to the metal backing plate, these leads make contact. This contact creates a squealing noise, letting you know it's time to replace your brake pads before they damage your rotors. This simple sensor can save you a lot of money on rotor replacement down the line.
