What does a brake wear lead do?

A brake wear lead is a small sensor that attaches to your brake pad. When the pad wears down to a specific thickness, the sensor contacts the rotor, creating a squealing sound to alert you that the pads need replacement.

Why is it important to replace brake pads when the wear lead activates?

Replacing the pads when the wear lead activates prevents the brake pad material from completely wearing away. This stops the metal backing plate of the pad from grinding against the rotor, which can cause severe damage and lead to more costly repairs.

Does this wear lead come with new brake pads?

This product is for the rear brake wear leads only. It does not include brake pads. You will need to purchase brake pads separately if you are replacing them.

Product Details

EBC is known for making a wide range of brake parts, and these rear brake wear leads are a simple but important piece of that system. If you're working on the rear brakes of your 2004-2011 BMW X3, these leads are designed to give you an early warning before your brake pads wear down completely.

These wear leads are a small sensor that fits into your brake pad. When the pad material wears down to a certain point, the sensor makes contact with the rotor. This contact creates a squealing noise, letting you know it's time to replace your brake pads. It’s a straightforward way to prevent the pads from grinding metal-on-metal against your rotors, which can cause much more expensive damage.
