I have read many threads of people getting near 100,000 miles before needing a brake job.
Where I love you need to get your vehicle inspected. Not for emissions but for mechanical safety.
Its a great way to spur on the economy because it gives service places a great opportunity to rip your asss off.
My truck is 3 years old and has 40,000 miles on it. And it failed because the rear pads and rotors were done.
I couldn’t believe it! And the rear pads and rotors!!
I have seen font brakes wear fast, but the back.
I didn’t believe it and I don’t let others work on my vehicles so I picked it up and said I will bring it back once repaired.
Took it home and sure enough the rotors were rusted to a tapper around the edge.
The pads were down to metal at the top and had all kinds of pad at the bottom.
So yes the pads were worn on an angle. Ether the brake pistons don’t press the pads with equal pressure or the bracket that holds the pads is bending while under pressure Allowing the pads to wear more at the top than the bottom.
ps
My wifes Outback passed with 60,000 miles on it.
GM Duralast rotors suck.
also it cost me 500.00 from the dealer with discount for 2 rotors and 2 sets of pads….
