The ATE Brake Pad Wear Indicator, part number 24.8190-0297.2, is designed to provide an audible or visual warning when your brake pads have reached their minimum thickness. This indicator is a vital safety feature, as worn brake pads can significantly reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances.

Easy to install, this wear indicator integrates seamlessly with compatible ATE brake pad sets. Regular checks and timely replacement of wear indicators, along with brake pads, are essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of your vehicle's braking system.
