SnowDrifter Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 I have rear drums on my car. My front disc pads have a wear tab that squeals when the pads get low, but I don't believe the rear ones do. When I had the car inspected 5k ago, they checked the pads, front was fine but the rear was at 3mm. Is there any way of knowing when they need to be replaced without pulling the wheels off and cracking open the drum? The paint I have on my wheels(rustoleum) will chip off if I remove them and the stuff takes about a week to cure where I'd need to touch them up. So I'd rather not do that unless necessary lol ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Keith77 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 only way to check them it taking off the drum. Sometimes they have s plug on the backing plate but that only gives you a small piece to look at if its even there. At 3mm last time I would change them out anyways Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

OrionStang Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 Just want to point out, rear brakes, drum or disc only handle 80% of the braking. If you must upgrade, do the fronts first. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
