Best Answer

Brake pad life is highly variable, based on pad material and quality, driving behavior and proper operation of other brake components. The only way to know for sure is to pull off the wheels and inspect the pads. If any linings are worn to within 1/16 inch of the backing or rivet heads, replace them on both wheels (front or rear). Front pads wear out several times faster than rear pads or shoes. It's not unusual for one pad to be worn out and others to show only moderate wear, but less likely if caliper pins are kept well lubricated with high-temperature silicon-based grease.
