Default Replaced Rear Pads at 20K

This seems to be a common thing on our jeeps.

I believe the BLD has a lot to do with it.

Although it doesn't come on a lot, it just seems that system has to have an affect.

The brakes are a lot better with the new pads as far as stopping power.

The BLD does cause some wear, but not a lot. (Any time the pads squeeze the rotor, some wear occurs.)

The biggest factor is the increased rear brake bias newer vehicles have. Everyday braking occurs many more times than ESP and BLD.
And when ESP and BLD do come on, the pads don't convert nearly as much energy as when braking during normal driving.

Yup pretty normal did mine the first time at 45,000 Kms

Second time was at about 85,000 Kms...installed power stop rotors and pads...big difference in breaking performance.

So far fronts only done once at 75,000 Kms still lots left at 125,000km...will do same power stop rotors and pads when it's time.

Easy work either way
