What is the lifespan of rear drum brakes?

[Miguel]

The service life of rear drum brakes is 120,000 to 150,000 kilometers. This means that under normal driving conditions, replacement should be considered when the vehicle reaches this mileage. The lifespan of drum brakes cannot be measured solely by time; it primarily depends on the mileage driven. For most vehicles under normal driving conditions, the lifespan of the front brake pads is 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Here are some relevant details: 1. Under normal conditions, the front brake pads have a lifespan of 30,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads last about 60,000 kilometers. Since each vehicle's driving distance varies, the wear level of the brake pads will also differ. 2. When the brake pads become too thin, their effectiveness significantly decreases. During inspection, note that new brake pads are typically around 1.5 cm thick. If the brake pads wear down to only about 0.3 cm, they should be replaced promptly.
