by
The Braking system is very
essential for car passengers safety. Hence, never fall
for misleading advertisements with a a fixed price for
brake jobs. This is a basic estimate, or a universal
lowest price the brakes can be changed. To diagnose the
brakes, you need to look for problems such as vibration,
grabbing, and pulling. Furthermore, low or soft pedal,
and abnormal noises. However, front pads handle a higher
amount of the breaking load. So the general rule is that
front brakes wear out faster the rear brakes.
Make sure you understand
that there is no set mileage intervals that brakes should
be replaced, or relined. This is due to the fact that
wear on the brake pads depend on various factors, most
importantly the braking habits of the driver. Moreover,
braking systems are designed differently on each car.
I personally saw identical
brake pads installed on 2 identical
used cars in houston area. One lasted for 50,000
miles, and the other lasted 70,000. To further
investigate, I interviewed the drivers of both
cars in houston.
The 70,000 was mostly highway driving, and the 40,000 was
driven mostly in stop-and-go city traffic.
