Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Front and Rear Together?

[AnthonyDella]

Brake pads are not replaced front and rear together, as their replacement cycles differ. Compared to front brake pads, rear brake pads have a longer service life. Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, whereas rear brake pads can last 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers before requiring replacement. There is no fixed timeframe for brake pad replacement; the replacement interval depends not only on the lifespan of the brake pads but also on driving conditions and individual driving habits. New brake pads are approximately 1.5 cm thick and should be replaced when worn down to about 5 mm. When replacing brake pads, both pads on the same axle must be replaced simultaneously to ensure balanced braking performance on both sides.
