Brake pad life on 99 Intrepid

Sep 06, 2004 3 Replies

Can someone tell me what the average brake pad life is for the 99 Intrepid ES?


What type of pads?

There are $7.99 "organic" brake pads then there are semi-metallic, ceramic, titanium, etc, etc, etc...

I would say that on average a decent set of semi-metallic brake pads, priced from $20 - $40, should get you 30k - 50k miles.

Alot also depends on where you drive (city/highway), your driving habits, and/or vehicle load. Make sure the rear brakes are properly adjusted and functioning otherwise the front brakes are doing ALL of the work - not good

Disk brakes are not adjustable.

I know - that's why I said to make certain the rear brakes...... nevermind....... :-/ OK. Maker CERTAIN the proportioning valve is precisely calibrated. :-) j/k
