OEM Audi Q5 Brake Pads Online
The brake pads are a crucial part of your Audi Q5 SUV's disc brake system, along with the brake calipers and brake rotors. The pads attach to the brake calipers and clamp onto the rotors. That produces the friction that slows down your wheels, while also protecting against the damaging metal-on-metal contact that comes from calipers directly touching rotors. When pads fail, though, you're not able to stop where or when you plan. Find the new ones you need right here, at prices up to 35% lower than the MSRP. Buy now!

Audi Q5 Brake Pads FAQs
What Are the Types of Audi Q5 Brake Pads?
There are four main kinds of brake pads sold these days. SUVs like yours typically come with organic brake pads. They're affordable, reliable, and the easiest on your rotors. Metallic brake pads feel firmer and are better at resisting heat. Ceramic brake pads are quieter, more reliable when conditions are wet, and produce a less-sticky brake dust. Finally, there are carbon fiber brake pads. These are usually reserved for SUVs outfitted with performance features, because of their hardy, temperature-resistant nature.
How Do I Recognize Failing Brake Pads?
Brake pads don't last forever, though. You can expect to get 40,000 to 50,000 miles of service from yours before they need to be replaced; keep in mind, though, that your commute and driving style can affect that range. Signs of failure are easy to spot, and include:
- Whining or vibrating brakes
- You see excessive pad wear
- It takes longer to slow down or stop
- You hear grinding noises when you brake
That last symptom is cause for alarm, as it's an indication that your rotors have become warped.
Why Buy Genuine Audi Q5 Brake Pads?
When you need a new set of brake pads, make sure that you choose the best ones for your SUV. That means buying genuine Audi brake pads, since -- unlike the generic type -- those are the only ones that are guaranteed to be compatible with your Audi Q5.
