Changing rotors

[Antwc]

I am getting ready to do my second rear pad change. I want to replace the rotors as well. Can I just replace the back rotors or should all rotors be replaced at the same time?

I have replaced just the front or just the rear many times.

You can replace just the back rotors.
I’m curious though. Front brakes & rotors wear much faster than the rears. Have those been replaced previously?

No I first replaced my rear pads then the front. Now my rear are almost due and I want to change the rotors this time around. I have 79,300 miles.

On newer vehicles with stability control the rears wear faster than the fronts. Much faster.

Thank you

No, Todd92.
Your statement is absolutely wrong. The rears brakes on a Maverick do Not wear out much faster than the fronts. Or at least, they shouldn’t.
But thank you for playing. Dozens of people will read your post and be astounded by brilliance.

Do you use the Auto-Hold feature? Just wondering if this may cause excessive wear on the rear brakes.

Nope. The auto parking brake only works when you're stopped and has no effect on brake wear.

I am a little confused. According to the link you posted, the rear brakes can certainly wear out faster on some cars. And as the previous poster mentioned, and the article states, it is a stability feature where the rear brakes grab harder to keep the nose of the car from diving.

I just got a my Maverick a few days ago, so I have no idea how the brakes wear. However, I have a Jeep Cherokee and a Mazda CX5, and on both of those I have changed rear brakes much more than the front. Of course, the pads are much smaller.

A decade or more ago, it was always the front pads that wore first.

Curious how many miles are on your truck? 37,000 on our ecoboost and brakes are fine.

Thanks, but the question was to the OP. Are you sure the OP does not use AUTO-HOLD?

That's a lot of brake wear in less than 80k miles!!!

Does salt affect it or just driving style?

Always use new rotors when changing pads.

On newer vehicles with stability control the rears wear faster than the fronts. Much faster.

I have a newer Ford with stability control that has 153,000 miles on the original rear pads. The fronts were replaced at 130,000 miles. It is a daily driver with lots of city miles.
