How often should you change your 1986 Ford E-250 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. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Ford  E-250 Econoline Club Wagon. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal.

Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs.
