How Often Should Drum Brake Pads Be Replaced?
1 Answers
For the front wheels, it's recommended to replace them every 30,000 kilometers, and for the rear wheels, every 60,000 kilometers. However, the actual replacement interval depends on the driver's habits and the vehicle's operating conditions. The most accurate method is to check the thickness of the brake pads. If the thickness is less than 3 millimeters, replacement is necessary. Here are some relevant details: 1. Under normal conditions, the front brake pads have a service life of 30,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads last about 60,000 kilometers. Since each vehicle's mileage varies, the wear on the brake pads will differ accordingly. 2. When the brake pads become too thin, their effectiveness significantly decreases. During inspection, note that new brake pads are typically about 1.5cm thick. If the pads wear down to approximately 0.3cm, they should be replaced promptly.
