Do Front and Rear Brake Pads Need to Be Replaced Simultaneously?
1 Answers
Front and rear brake pads do not need to be replaced at the same time, as they have different replacement cycles. Generally, rear brake pads have a longer service life compared to front brake pads. Below are the conditions for replacing car brake pads: I. Normal Conditions: 1. Front brake pads typically need replacement after 30,000-50,000 kilometers of driving. 2. Rear brake pads usually require replacement after 60,000-100,000 kilometers of driving. II. Special Conditions: 1. Beginners tend to use brakes more frequently, leading to higher wear. 2. Automatic transmission vehicles consume brake pads faster than manual transmission vehicles, as gear shifting relies on the accelerator and brake pedals. 3. Vehicles primarily driven in urban areas experience faster brake pad wear compared to those driven on highways, due to more frequent braking in city traffic. 4. Heavier vehicles cause greater brake pad wear. When decelerating at the same speed, heavier vehicles have greater inertia, requiring more friction force from the brake pads, resulting in increased wear.
