What happens when the brake wear leads activate?

When your brake pads wear down to a specific thickness, these leads will scrape against the brake rotor. This creates a high-pitched squealing sound, signaling that it's time to replace your brake pads.

Do these wear leads come with new brake pads?

No, these are separate wear lead sensors only. They are designed to be installed with new or existing brake pads that meet the correct specifications.

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

You should replace these leads if they have activated (squealed) or if they appear damaged. It's also a good practice to replace them whenever you install new brake pads, especially if the old pads were worn close to the limit.

About this part

Product Details

For your 2013-2015 BMW X1 2.0L Turbo (28I), these rear brake wear leads from EBC are a crucial safety component. They are designed to alert you before your brake pads wear down completely to the metal backing plate.

When your brake pads reach a critical minimum thickness, these leads will make contact with the rotor, creating a squealing noise. This audible warning gives you time to replace your pads before they cause severe damage to your brake rotors, which can be a much more expensive repair. They are a simple but effective way to monitor your brake pad life.
