Brake pads?

Question

How would you say brake pads?

Answer 1

Balatas is correct if they are for disc brakes.

Zapatas is for drum brakes. Some newer American and Japanese cars still have these on the back and old cars have them on all four.

Pastillas is sometimes used but be careful because depending on who you talk to, it could mean for disc or drum brakes.

Answer 2

El freno = The brake

Los frenos = The brakes

The person should get the idea with saying that. Click here for some more useful vocabulary about cars.

.Note:

Amykay has a good point. The translator and our numerous resources (including comprehensive dictionary) will better help you learn on your own. As well, you'll get better responses when you ask if something is the correct way to say things rather than asking people to just translate it for you.

One thing I do want to point out. If you put brake pad into the translator, you'll get 3 different answers. I've never heard of the second, the first is pastilla de freno which would work if you really want to get specific. But the third zapata de freno is something completely different. That is a brake shoe which, working with cars, I can tell you a shoe and a pad are different.

If nobody has told you yet. ¡Bienvenido al Foro!
