There are 2 pads on each brake.
Front pads (disc brakes) Rear shoes (drum brakes)
It depends on model and year of production. If you have front and rear disk brakes, you need 8 pads (4 front and 4 rear): 2 per each wheel. If you have only front disk brakes and rear drum brakes. You will need 4 front pads and 4 rear brake shoes.
Yes, a Fiat Punto has disc brakes at the front and these have pads. The drum brakes at the back have shoes.
brake pads can either be on the front or rear of a car... it all depends on if it has disc or drum brakes on the rear... drum brakes have shoes not pads
Front brake pads will wear out much faster than rear brakes pads on a properly functioning and normally driven vehicle, this happens because front brakes do most of the work when slowing down. Rear brakes pads will last more than 3 times longer than front pads.
The brake pads are a part of the braking system. Many people do refer to the brake pads as "the brakes", but you'll need to make sure the rotors and calipers are working properly as well. Additionally, The term 'brake pads' are associated with 'disc brake' systems. Earlier vehicles had 'brake shoes' which were associated with 'drum brakes'. Depending on the year of the car, front brakes could mean either and is a generic term.
Its got disc brakes in the front, therefor brake pads and its got drum brakes in the back, therefor brake shoes
it either has front disc brakes and rear drum or it has front and rear disc bakes. look for a flat disc in the front and back - those are front and rear disc brakes-they take pads. The drum brakes take shoes.
Pads--and if you've got disc brakes on the back of the car, which I think you do, you need pads back there too.
Usually the rear pads or brake shoes depending on whether or not the back brakes are disc or drum brakes will last 2 times longer the the front brakes. 75% of your braking is done by the front brakes. For example, if you have 60,000 miles and your front pads need to be replaced the rear ones will only be about 1/2 worn out.
If they are the exact same size yes, they will work, but normally they are not as large as the front brakes pads and will not fit.
