Okay, so let’s dive straight into the brake pads for your Chery Tiggo SEVEN, PRO, and MAX. Finding the right parts can be a bit of a headache, so I’m going to break it down for you. First things first, we need to talk about the original part numbers. These are crucial because using the wrong pads can lead to all sorts of problems, from poor braking performance to damage to your brake system. Now, I’ve got a list here – and I’ll show you these on screen – of the original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, part numbers for both the front and rear pads for each model of the Tiggo SEVEN. Make sure you double-check these against your vehicle’s documentation, just to be absolutely certain. It’s worth taking a photo of this screen so you have it handy when you’re ordering parts. You don’t want to end up with the wrong ones! We’re talking about your safety here, people!
Now, let’s get into the front brake pads. These are usually the ones that wear out faster, especially if you do a lot of city driving. The front pads on the Tiggo SEVEN, PRO, and MAX are generally similar in design, but there might be slight variations depending on the year and specific model. Again, those OEM part numbers are your best guide. When you’re inspecting your front pads, look for uneven wear. If one side is significantly more worn than the other, it could indicate a problem with your calipers or suspension. Don’t just replace the pads; get that checked out by a mechanic. Also, pay attention to the pad material itself. If you see cracks, glazing, or excessive wear, it’s definitely time for a replacement. We’ll be looking at the process of removing and installing the pads in the video, so keep an eye out for that. Remember, always use the correct tools and take your time. Rushing this job could be dangerous.
And finally, let’s talk about the rear brake pads. Generally, the rear pads wear out slower than the front ones, but they still need regular inspection and replacement. The same principles apply here as with the front pads: check for uneven wear, cracks, glazing, and excessive wear. The rear brake system is just as important as the front, and neglecting it can have serious consequences. Again, those OEM part numbers will be your best friend when it comes to ordering replacements. And remember, if you’re not comfortable working on your brakes yourself, take your Tiggo to a qualified mechanic. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes. We’ll be showing you a detailed look at the rear pads, too, so stay tuned for that. And don’t forget to like and subscribe for more helpful car maintenance videos!
Okay, let’s dive straight into those brake pads for your Chery Tiggo SEVEN/Pro/Max. We’re going to start with the rear pads first, because honestly, they often get overlooked. Now, when it comes to the rear brake pads on your Tiggo, you’ll want to pay close attention to the wear. I’ve seen some pretty scary situations where people have driven way too long on worn-out rear pads, and that’s a big no-no. Remember, your rear brakes are just as important as your front brakes, especially when it comes to stability and control, particularly in slippery conditions. So, regularly checking the thickness of your pads is crucial. You should be able to find a wear indicator on the pads themselves – a small metal tab that will make a scraping noise when the pads are getting dangerously thin. If you hear that noise, it’s time for a replacement, no ifs, ands, or buts. Don’t wait until you feel a significant loss of braking power. That’s a sign that you’ve already waited too long. Also, pay attention to the overall condition of the brake calipers and rotors. Make sure they’re clean and free of any excessive rust or debris. A little bit of cleaning can go a long way in extending the life of your brake system. And remember, always use the correct torque specification when you’re tightening those caliper bolts back up. You can find that information in your owner’s manual. Getting it wrong can lead to all sorts of problems.
Now, let’s talk about finding suitable replacement brake pads. This is where things can get a little tricky. There are a LOT of options out there, and not all of them are created equal. You’ll find a wide range of prices, from budget-friendly options to premium performance pads. The key here is to find a balance between price and quality. Going too cheap can compromise your safety, while spending a fortune might not necessarily be worth it for everyday driving. I’ve had good experiences with a few different brands, but I always recommend doing your research and reading reviews before you buy. Check online forums and see what other Tiggo SEVEN/Pro/Max owners are using and recommending. Pay attention to things like stopping power, noise levels, and dust production. Some pads are known for being quieter than others, and some produce less brake dust, which is a big plus if you care about keeping your wheels clean. When you’re looking at the specifications, make sure the pads are the correct size and fit for your specific model year and trim level of the Tiggo SEVEN/Pro/Max. Double-check everything before you order. Getting the wrong pads is a real headache, and it’ll mean more time and money spent getting the right ones. And remember, always replace your pads in pairs. Don’t just replace one pad on an axle; replace both. This ensures even wear and braking performance.
Finally, let’s talk about some analogues for your Chery Tiggo SEVEN/Pro/Max brake pads. Finding direct equivalents can sometimes be difficult, especially depending on your region. However, there are often several reputable brands that produce pads that are compatible with your vehicle. Again, thorough research is key here. Look for pads that meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications. Don’t just rely on the brand name; look at the technical specifications to make sure they’re a good match. You can often find cross-reference charts online that list compatible brake pads from different manufacturers. These charts can be incredibly helpful in finding suitable alternatives if your preferred brand isn’t readily available. Remember, safety is paramount, so don’t compromise on quality just to save a few bucks. A little extra research upfront can save you a lot of trouble and potential danger down the road. And that’s it for the rear pads and their analogues. Remember to always consult your owner’s manual for specific recommendations and instructions.
