c5 corvette brakes
brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
the pads on my Bolt lasted 130,000 miles
I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.
Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.
Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.
The brakes on that thing were absolutely horrible. If you had to panic stop it really was a panic. I never felt that sob was going to stop.
A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
