Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / August 2005How long do stock brake pads last?
On a 5.0? What is the mileage before they need to be replaced? Thanks all. Brad A lot depends on where and how you drive... there is no time or mileage constraint. For bonded pads, I would replace them when the lining material is down to 3mm above the backing. For rivetted pads, 3mm above the tops of the rivet heads. Similarly, pads with loose, chunked or cracked lining material should be replaced no matter what the thickness remaining is. HTH On a 5.0? What is the mileage before they need to be replaced?

I like to have them changed every year at inspection time, since they're checking the brakes anyway. At least every other year... I agree with your 3mm minimum, but I'd hate to see them get that low. With the stock setup, the bigger problem was the rotors, which warped far too easily. dwight > On a 5.0? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Brad >>A lot depends on where and how you drive... there is no time or >>mileage [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > changed every year at inspection time, since they're checking the > brakes anyway. At least every other year... The Power Slots are the best thing I've put on the LX with regards to braking. Not a shread of warping since I put them on 6 years ago. > I agree with your 3mm minimum, but I'd hate to see them get that > low. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> Brad Thanks guys!
