Getting your 1983 944’s brakes checked before trouble starts is a good idea. There's no need to wait for a problem.

If you've been putting off regular car care, though, keep the following brake symptoms in mind.

When should you change the brake pads on your 1983 Porsche 944? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your 944. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Porsche 944 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Porsche's standards.
