96path4x4 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a 96 LE with 134k on the odo and the rear brakes have never been replaced. I had them inspected about 10k miles ago and they were fine. Is that common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a 96 LE with 134k on the odo and the rear brakes have never been replaced. I had them inspected about 10k miles ago and they were fine. Is that common? My fronts are factory original at 125K miles, but they're getting low. Haven't looked at the rears, but they're original too. --Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time around,I used a better brand and they have been great. My neighbor has about 100k on the front brakes of his Mazda 3, but I didn't believe him. Never thought front brakes last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The rear drums on an r50 will last you practically the life of the truck. I was even told this by a mechanic at a Nissan dealer here in ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Almost any drum can last close to the life of a truck so long as it's always properly adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, considering the pathy does 80% of it's braking up front (unless you have a heavy load, in which case it's 60/40) it doesn't surprise me. Mine has 167K with the original rears. Fronts been replaced once since 130K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
