Rear Brake Pad Replacement

One of the biggest things you can do to maintain your safety in your Nissan is to make sure that when you change your brakes, make sure to include a rear brake pad replacement. Brake pad failure is one of the largest causes of accidents, especially single-car accidents when the driver was not able to properly stop when they needed. In order to keep yourself safe, it is important to periodically change your rear brake pads on your Nissan.

Rear Brake Pad Replacement Service

When this service is required, a rear brake pad replacement service is done by certified technicians. Bringing it to a Nissan dealership, you are able to get the OEM parts that your brakes need as required by Nissan and have it changed properly. They will remove the old brake pads and replace them with new pads for your safety.

Can I Do This On My Own?

While some Nissan owners attempt to do this service on their own, it is not the easiest change on your Nissan and requires certain tools for removal. If it is not done properly, your rear brakes could fail, leaving you in a safety hazard, causing an accident, and harming others on the highway. Also, when you attempt to change these brake pads on your own, you may not purchase the OEM Nissan brake pads that you need. This, too, could be dangerous attempting to change brake pads with the wrong parts.

When Will I Know It Is Time to Change Them?

One of the best ways to know it is time to change your rear brake pads is to listen for grinding or whistling when you slow down. Now, your front brakes will often need changing first, but your rear brakes supplement the front brakes and are often forgotten about. If it has been at least 30,000 miles since you last changed your rear brake pads, it may be a good idea to go ahead and have them changed for good measure.
