When you press your gas pedal, your braking system works together to stop your vehicle with the help of friction. Friction occurs when two things rub together. Your vehicle’s front and brake calipers, backing plates, and shoes frequently rub against one another when you press on the brakes, and the more friction they endure, the more they’ll wear down. Luckily, brake lubricant or brake lube can help these parts move more effectively while slowing down the wear of essential brake parts. You’ll also have quieter brakes. With enough lubrication, you’ll have less metal-on-metal contact, which can cause a vehicle to screech when it's running low on lube.
If your vehicle is running low on lubrication, visit your local Advance Auto Parts store or order online. We carry trusted brands like 3M and Permatex that can keep your vehicle’s braking system in tip-top shape so you can stop quicker and more effectively.

Key parts of the braking system that require lubrication include caliper slides, contact points where the brake pads touch the caliper, parking brake cables, and other moving components like the backing plates. When properly lubricated, these parts will make less noise as they rub against one another and wear down less often.
