izzy Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have 12,500 miles on my 07 and I think I need to change my front pads already. Is this normal? What are you guys out there averaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Check to see if they are squeaking because the wear indicator is touching the rotor, or if they're squeaking because you have deposits on the the pads. If it's deposits, re-bed the pads by following procedures for brake bedding found all over the forums My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablo Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I upgraded my pads at 30k and the stockers were still fine. Wanna buy them? My VB Garage... Pumping the air back into despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
