I think all it needs is for the brake pads to be changed. There is a little squeaking but very minor so I think the discs are ok. These brakes are high performance brakes that came with the car off the lot.How much does a front brake job for an %26039;06 Dodge Charger cost?
Whatever you do...DO NOT got to a chain brake shop such as Brake Team or Just Brakes, they are thieves and will sell you hundreds in stuff you do not need... you will NEVER get out of their shop with the 99.88 all four wheel brake job.... This I Guarantee... Brake Team out west quoted my brother 1600.00 in brake work, he declined and asked for it in writing, they refused...he took it to a friends shop and they discovered the brakes were brand new, but a caliper pin had broken... Total cost of repair = 7.00 , oh he had just bought the van and heard this noise so he took it in to see what it was, not knowing the condition of his brakes at all...
This is a true story and typical of these brake shops... Good LuckHow much does a front brake job for an %26039;06 Dodge Charger cost?

How can i get the most outta my 2002 ford v6 mustang?
it has 90,000 on it because i drive from chicago to detroit once a month. i take really good care of it i think. i get regular oil changes and change the brake pads when they need to.
i still have 2 more years to pay on it so i want to make it last. what are some things i should start lookin at right now to fix or change to ensure that?How can i get the most outta my 2002 ford v6 mustang?
90 000 IS ENOUGH TO BEGIN USING MOTOR OIL FOR HIGH MILEAGE CARS.
I SUGGEST CASTROL GTX OR VALVOLINE MAX LIFE FOR YOU.
OTHER THAN THAT YOU CAN READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT THE HIGH MILEAGE CARS CARE.

keep the oil changes up. get a tune up as scheduled and find a good shop you can depend on to maintain the car. don't let friends or family fix it unless you know they can because when you do you will pay extra in the long run.

I am changing the brakes on a 97 ford aerostar van. Do I remove the pins to remove the calipers and how.?
I am trying to get the calipers off my 97 ford aerostar van to change the brake pads. They do not have allen wrench bolts to remove them so how do i get them off. There are two flat pins but they have raised edges to keep them from slipping out, how do i get them off?I am changing the brakes on a 97 ford aerostar van.

squeeze together and push. I would recommend you get a repair manual or at least Look at the auto zone web site under repairs to get information on how to do safely.

How many brake pads come in a box?
I'm looking to change out my brakes, and all of the auto parts stores around me have really cheap chinese-made pads, so I'm ordering some Bendix pads online. I know that there are 2 pads per rotor, but I wasn't sure if the box came with 2 or 4 pads.
Here is the link to the pads:

4 A box will do both front brakes. You will need 2 boxes if you want to do all the brakes. The back brakes will be different than the front ones. Usually a parts store has 3 different grades of pads.

I have a p-reg Vauxhall Vectra and i am thinking about changing the brake disks and pads myself to save money?
Can i get some advice on a cheap place to get parts web or shop?
Plus how easy is it to do yourself iam of average ability with manual work so any pitfalls tp avoid? how do you bleed the brakes because i was told i have to do this when changing the disks.I have a p-reg Vauxhall Vectra and i am thinking about changing the brake disks and pads myself to save money?
if youve never done it before, get the parts from a store , they order the bits in for you and any decent store will check youve got the right part for your car. no need to go to a main dealer most little independant stores order the right bits in for you.
Its fairly easy to do, although slightly different procedure is needed on each car, having never worked a vectra I dont want to say its simple for you to do when there could be a fixing or special tool needed that i dont know about ( making the job tricky )
If you get yourself a decent haynes manual or equivilent and take your time, there shouldnt be any problems.
you dont need to bleed the brake fluid as the fluid presurises the caliper to push the pads to the disk. and your not disconnecting the caliper from the car, your just disconnecting it from the disk so the fluid pipes can stay intact.
Remember these are your brakes,, they're kind of important.
If you do change the disks remember to support the caliper with something, dont just leave it dangling by the pipes, it may seem fine hanging there, but thats how you end up with pipes splitting and no brakes at a very inopertune moment.java medium length hair

Question about brake/brake pad?
Hi, I have a 2006 honda civic LX. About two month ago, I found that whenever I step/push the brake, there would be some noises coming out from the car. I was thinking it might be time for me to change the brake pads as my car has now 85000 miles on it. (And I know that when the brake pads are worn seriously, there will be some noise coming out) However, after neglecting the noise for a few weeks, I now only hear the noise once a long while...so I am not sure wt's going on and what I should do. If the brake pads are really worn out, shouldn't that noise coutinue until I replace the brake pads?
Btw, if in case I do need to change the brake pads, do I also need to change the disc or re-surface the disc? how about rotor?...I am not good at car and I totally have no idea whatelse would need to repair/replace together with the brake pads.
Any opinion would be appreciated. thanksQuestion about brake/brake pad?
The occasional squeaking your hearing is usually caused from what's called %26quot;Glaze%26quot; on your rotors. It squeaks because of the material your pads are made of becomes embedded in the rotors over time. Usually the squeak will be heard when the pads haven't heated up yet and/or under light brake application. The cure would be to either live with it until you actually do need the pads changed, or change them now. Honda rotors can be machined but the labor to do so costs almost as much as the price of a new rotor these days. You don't have to go to a dealer to have the brake work done, although if you do Honda dealerships do use the best parts for your car. You can take your car to a privately owned shop that uses quality pads and rotors and get the same job done and at a lot cheaper price. Ask family or friends who services their cars for them and you should be able to find an experienced, hopefully honest shop. Good luck and hope this helps.Question about brake/brake pad?

Pull the wheels from the car and find out if the pads are worn, this car will have a squeal tab on each wheel, so you should know if they are worn. Also, before you take the wheel off, see if you can wiggle it, it should have very little to no wiggle.
If you need new pads ALWAYS resurface the rotor or you will be defeating the purpose and it will squeal like a madman. On this civic, try to use only ceramic or semi-metallic pads, NEVER organic (they tend to do very poorly and don't last long). Hope this helps you.

I have a 2004 Infinity G35. My front brake pads need to be changed. Anyone know how much it costs??
I will go to an Infinity dealership. So around how much am I looking at??? It is a sedan by the way..........thanks alotI have a 2004 Infinity G35. My front brake pads need to be changed. Anyone know how much it costs??
Pads themselves are fairly inexpensive items, and can be replaced by almost any home mechanic armed with only the simplest tools. Resurfacing the rotors, (like regrinding brake drums), checking the brake pistons,cylinders, lines, seals, and such, are another thing entirely. The total cost of a Brake job is going to vary greatly depending on (1.) where and who does it, and (2) what all needs attention to perform it , besides just replacing the pads. Pads can be bought for as little as eight dollars a pair, for most passenger cars, from some sources.I have a 2004 Infinity G35. My front brake pads need to be changed. Anyone know how much it costs??
In the US a dealership will charge $260 per axle for pads and rotor resurfacing.
Probably around $100
