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.

Why would the brakes lock on a 1998 Dodge Ram work van?

Are you talking about the front or rear tires? If it's the front, and low traction conditions, then the van only has Rear-Wheel ABS. If it's the front, but dry ground, the pads are catching on the rotor. If it's the rear, but humid and only the first couple stops, it's rust on the brake surface If it's the rear, but constant, the shoes are dragging

How do you change the front and rear brake pads on a 1997 Honda Odyssey?

Sometimes its best to get a couple prices on Replacing Brake Shoes (rear) and Pads (front). I noticed on New Pads (front) they were NOT a Good fit. The Pads MUST move slightly in their holders.. If They Don't Fir right- The Pads will Get HOT Quickly and may CRACK.. Notice how the old ones slide easily, and the new ones should also. As for ROTORS (Front) If there is too much "rust".. they won't come of without a Puller. If the Vehicle Vibrated when BEAKING,m chances are the Rotors got Warped by Over heating. Even if there are No Grooves from Work Pads, they could be warped, and REPLACED. I would NOT have Rotors Turned down (cut) Because they are not MADE as good as years ago. As for Rear Drums.. They also might be Very Hard to GET OFF, because of RUST on the Outer HUB. Pay the Extra, and get PEACE OF MIND.. But Trust the Person doing the Work, that You can SEE The Parts going on..


Why would thre rear brakes stop working on a 98 Olds Intrigue?

Don't know of any brake symptoms unique to Intrigues. How do you know it is the rear brakes? If you detected the rear brakes being bad because the emergency brake doesn't work, probably a snapped cable. Assuming the car still stops (front brakes still work), you could have worn pads (unlikely), a broken brake line (probably will cause the front brakes to quit working soon - look for leaks), a faulty master cylinder (rear brake cylinder shot - unusual). I'd take her to a brake shop if you can't diagnose the cause. I't hell when you are headed for a school bus and can't stop.
