Question

Asked 3/10/2011

I had a scraping noise checked out on my 2006 Ford Escape

And found it needs the front brake pads replaced. Do the back brake pads usually wear out at about the same time as the front pads? To save another trip to the shop soon, should I go ahead and have the back pads replaced while they have it, or could it likely be another 6 months or so before they need to be replaced? Thank you.

Visual inspection of the brakes does not cost anything. You usually do the front twice for each time you do the rear.

Usually the rear brake pads/shoes wear out at 1/2 the rate or less of the front , naturally its
a good idea to check them , rotors or drums add to a brake jobs expense , if they
go metal to metal.
