Anyone Know Pad Break Wear Limits - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

At 5mm, I'd say you've a long way to go yet. In my last service report, the shoes were measuring 3mm with 94,000 kms on the odo. I then went back 2 years and checked a service report. Shoes were 3.5mm with 54,000 on the odo. So in 2 years and 40,000 kms, I wore .5mm off of the shoes.

I will be replacing them in the spring fo 2010.

they make a little cyclic squeak that varies with the wheel rotation speed and is only heard when the car's going fairly slow with the brakes off.

I've never heard that. What contacts the rotor when the brakes are off?

Another thing to consider is that some aftermarket pads may have better stopping force than the original ones. On a different subject the stock belt is very shitty and should be replaced other than OEM. Mine was dry rotted at 25K miles. Stock tire valve stems should be replaced as well with better ones.

The little metal insert in the pad. It quits squeaking when braking pressure is applied.The pads (and the insert in them) are always in contact with the rotor.

sounds like an environmental problem, not a toyota problem

belts and tire valves rotted ?

sounds like the car has been stored near, or was or is exposed to, ozone,
or other chemicals or gasses that rot rubber.

could be where you store your car, where you park it, or how it was stored and shipped before purchase

Oh one note. Some cars dont have wear sensors. Or actually some brake pads dont have wear sensors. Some OE manufactures dont come with them too. There are quite a few toyota ones too. Which is why its good to have your brakes checked twice a year when you are getting your tires rotated.

There are even some that give an electronic signal.
