You know your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon like the back of your hand. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance!

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brake Pad Replacement

How often do 1985 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagons that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Ford’s standards.

Answers to Your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brakes Questions

  • What is causing my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to shake when I brake? If your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • What is the average lifespan of E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pads? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon is off? Your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
