EDST777 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) My front brake shoes need to be replaced. I damaged a slip, it froze today and came off. Blocks were in a good shape, but my odometer shows more than 120 000 km. I think to buy the original Motorcraft, but is it important ?, there can be somebody put forward blocks of other producers (brands RoadHouse, Kashiyama and others) and has experience. I worry for a brake way, our car heavy! Thanks for any thoughts. Edited January 27, 2015 by EDST777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Go with the original motorcraft part and you will be fine. Note the rear brakes tend to last longer than the front brakes as they have to work harder. Перейти с оригинальным Motorcraft часть , и вы будете в порядке. Обратите внимание на задние тормоза , как правило, дольше , чем передние тормоза , как они должны работать тяжелее Pereyti s original'nym Motorcraft chast' , i vy budete v poryadke. Obratite vnimaniye na zadniye tormoza , kak pravilo, dol'she , chem peredniye tormoza , kak oni dolzhny rabotat' tyazheleye Edited January 27, 2015 by macbwt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 At that mileage, you should replace both rotors and pads. OEM is fine, as mac said, rears are more important to do, as they carry more of the load in an AWD vehicle. Be sure to clean the grooves in the caliper brackets where the pad "ears" sit, and also grease the slide pins. If the brake fluid has never been replaced, have it flushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDST777 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 thanks, I will change brake fluid, I understood it. I also understood that back blocks more important, than and they are more loaded with front. But now I need to understand: whether I need to change back blocks if they are worn-out not rather strongly, by sight they are quite good and wear isn't great? Thanks for your help.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 If you can do it, do everything at the same time, front & rear. I think it would be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to specify : if Rears receptacles in AWD are more loaded and wear out more than Forwards why they are by sight more feeble less Forward also sicklier looks also CALIPER Rears ?

macbwt Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 As below stated: I have always found the Front brakes will wear faster than the rear brakes. I believe on the engineering side the front brakes are slightly advance in pressure balance to the front due to the higher forces continuely placed on them and the rears have to be balanced due to wieght shift and not lock up as the fronts take on the job of stopping in forward movement, thus the rear apply a lighter force due to a lighter weight. In the driving I do and on every car I have ever driven my rear brakes will usually last 25 percent longer or more than the front brake pads.
