Car Forum / Subaru Cars / June 2004Subaru 2000 Legacy -- Brakes
Today I learnt that my Subaru 2000 Legacy wagon, with 49,000 miles on it, needs front brakes and the rear brakes need to be refaced. Is this a bit early? My previous two Subarus (1984 GL10 and 1992 Legacy) went to 85K+ miles without brake problems. I am not driving any differently!

I get 40k on the front (with 2/3 the meat left on the pad) and 80k on the rear (about 1/2 the meat left). Have never had to change the rotors. My 2000 Forest @ 68,000 miles has about 1/3 on front and 1/4 on rear remaining.

Is your new Legacy heaver than you old cars? Not really. It is a wagon, as opposed to the sedan versions, but the 2000 Legacy was roughly the same in size and shape. Looks like my front brakes went early. The rear ones are supposed to be okay. I was really just wondering if this was a known problem with the 2000 Legacies. Looks like an outlier.

FWIW, my 01 OBW was down to nothing on an edge of the driver's front pad at 60000 miles. My Mazda 626 went nearly 100k on the original pads. I just figure they're pretty heavy cars, and this one I owned full time here in Chicago doing lotsa stop and go. -- Todd H. 2001 Legacy Outback Wagon, 2.5L H-4 Chicago, Illinois USA |
