Want this question answered?
i am not very familiar with this type of car but front brakes do about 60-70% of your braking thus requiring a larger pad, so logic suggests that your front brakes are larger then your rear brakes Front pads on almost any vehicle are larger.
front front - rear rear.
Of course. All vehicles have front & rear brakes.
Large goes twoard front, shorter to rear. WRONG! the smaller shoe faces toward the front of the van. if one shoe is shorter then the other, the shorter shoe ALWAYS faces toward the front of the vehicle. this is called servo style brakes, if the the shoes are the same length then it dose not matter witch one faces forward, this is called non-servo style brakes. but in this case GM uses servo style brakes so the smaller shoe faces the front.
Front brakes have significantly more stopping power than rear brakes.
The front and rear brakes are both made of ceramic. i bought front and rear brakes on eBay for $80 total.
Yes.
Front pads (disc brakes) Rear shoes (drum brakes)
disc brakes - front and rear
( 1 ) on each of the rear drum brakes
It could be that the rear brakes are not functioning properly; leading to the front brakes having to compensate. That is, if the front ones are going out much quicker than the rear. I believe that the front ones just naturally wear faster than the rear ones On a light truck the front brakes will do up to 75% of the braking.
disc brakes , front and rear
