How long do break pads on autos last?

Question:


Answers:

Why is my car running poorly?

Anywhere from less than 20,000 to over 50,000 miles, depending on your driving style, what kind of car, the quality of brake pads, and God knows how many other variables. Pull the wheels, unbolt the calipers (do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake line) and see how much material is left. If it looks like there isn't enough, replace the pads. Simple as that.

Oh, yeah--better put the calipers, and the wheels back on the car before you drive it! (Yes, I know you're probably intelligent enough to know that, but someday, someone is going to be sued for not giving a warning like that, and I don't want it to be me.)

It depends upon how much city driving you do, and your driving style. Normally 2-3 years. However, if you stop and start alot, or if you ride your brakes that is much shorter.

You did not specify the kind of car - and it does vary by manufacturer. However, from experience, I would say that front wheel brake pads last anywhere between 10,000 and 40,000 miles. Rear wheel brake pads always last significantly longer: 40,000 to 100,000 miles.

On more expensive cars, a sensor is in the front brake pads that will give you a warning on your dashboard indicating that the pads are almost worn out. When that warning light comes on, you will have 1000 to 2000 miles left before the pads will be completely gone. So get your brake pads inspected / replaced soon after the warning light comes on.

what is the difference between strut bars and shocks? and what do sway bars do?


On less expensive cars that do not include these sensors, you should ask your mechanic to inspect the brake pads every 10,000 miles or so. He can tell you about how much of the pads are left. A good time to have the inspection is when you have your tires rotated. It is a visual inspection that does not require the removal of any parts except the wheel - and normally they do not charge you for this inspection if you are already paying for the tire rotation.

Finally, if you let your brake pads completely wear out, you will hear a screeching sound every time you brake. This is a metal on metal sound causing damage to your brake rotors and system. You should immediately stop using the car and have the brake system repaired (when you get to this stage of wear, the repair will be a lot more expensive than just replacing the brake pads.)
