Just turned over 46K on this mostly highway driven vehicle. On city streets with the radio off and the right side window open I have started to hear eek-eek-eek-eek noises. I am assuming it is being caused by the pad wear indicators.
Am I thinking correctly? Is 46K on pads too short? I just want to get some opinions. Thanks
I may be the brakes. Miles make little difference, driving conditions do. When I lived in Philadelphia, 25k was great mileage for brakes, but where I live now, I've gone over 70k. Of course, I can drive home from work 25 miles and come to a complete stop only once. Oh, factor in loads and driving style too. Last minute braking wears them faster.
As a further comparison, 46k on a 2007 is fairly light miles. I've be at about 92,000 on mine had I not traded it in.
Sounds about right to me.
