INSTALLATION GUIDE

DIRECTIONAL BRAKE PADS

INTRODUCTION

One of the biggest challenges presented to brake pad manufacturers by vehicle manufacturers is to control and reduce
brake noise.
To solve the problem, with some specific brake systems, there has been the development of the asymmetrical brake
pad designs which introduce the brake pad to the disc at an angle. In doing so, the potential for vibration and noise is
significantly reduced.
Ferodo deploys two methods to achieve the angle of introduction. One is the use of a chamfer on the friction surface
and the second is a cut-out of the noise reduction shim on the backing plate. Both are easy for the technician to see and
understand that the pads need to be positioned in a specific way.

FITTING DIRECTIONAL BRAKE PADS

Many directional pads have an arrow on the back plate to fitting these brake pads, make sure the arrow points in the
indicate the rotational direction of the brake disc. When same direction as the wheels turn during forward driving.

DIRECTIONAL BRAKE PADS

Some directional pads do not use an arrow but instead include


a letter. The letter indicates to which side of the vehicle the
brake pad should be fitted. L L R R

When the letter R is used, the brake pad should be fitted to


the right-hand side of the vehicle. When an L is used, fit it to R
the left-hand side.

FITTING BRAKE PADS WITH A CHAMFER ON THE FRICTION SURFACE

If no arrow or letter is used but the Ferodo pads are equipped


with a chamfer, the chamfer needs to be presented at the
leading edge where the pad first contacts the brake disc when
fitting the brake pads.

Where the pads are equipped with a chamfer on both edges,


the edge with the bigger chamfer area should to be presented
to the leading edge where the pad first contacts the brake disc.

FITTING BRAKE PADS WITH A CRESCENT CUT-OUT TO THE NOISE REDUCTION SHIM

If no arrow or letter is used but the Ferodo pads are


equipped with a crescent or half-moon cut-out from the
noise reduction shim, the crescent or half-moon needs to be
presented at the leading edge where the pad first contacts
the brake disc.
