How often should you change your 1986 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s brake pads? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

Your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon engine may be strong and reliable. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components.
