Should Brake Pads Be Replaced for Both Front and Rear Wheels Simultaneously?
1 Answers
Front and rear brake pads do not need to be replaced at the same time, as they have different replacement cycles. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Compared to front brake pads, rear brake pads have a longer service life. Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads typically require replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, whereas rear brake pads can last between 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers before needing replacement. 2. There is no fixed interval for brake pad replacement. The replacement cycle depends not only on the service life of the brake pads but also on driving conditions and individual driving habits. New brake pads are approximately 1.5 centimeters thick. When they wear down to one-third of their original thickness, or about 5 millimeters, they should be replaced promptly. When replacing brake pads, both pads on the same axle must be replaced together to ensure balanced braking performance on both sides.
