Rear driver side break pad wearing to fast

[ladorn45]

Hey Everyone,

Has anyone had this issue. I did a break job last march and replaces all breaks and rotors. Then this january I had to replace the Rear driver side break pad because it was worn out. I assumed the Caliper was bad so I replaced that as well. 4 months later and it sounds like the pad is worn out again. Has anyone had this issue before or know what could be happening

Are the pins lubed correctly, or enough? Has the brake hose ever been changed? Might be collapsing internally, causing it to have more pressure.

Hey Tony,

Even though its a new caliper I still checked the pins and added some lube as for the hose I did not replace. So that might be the issue. Is there a specific hose you guys recommend? Thanks for responding.

We like the upgraded stainless hoses--if not oem should be fine.

If you go stainless, just make sure you get the correct one for your application. I have these and I like them.

Okay can I just replace the trouble hose for now or do you recommend replacing both rears?

Are you going with stainless? I recommend doing both rears at once. If you're going oem I think you could get away with doing the bad one first, then the other at separate times.

I figured I go stainless if I suck it up and do it myself lol. Also do you know which one is for the rear? And as always thank you for taking the time to help.

Nice. I'm originally from Newark/Belleville. Used to work on Valley Rd in Montclair as a kid. I'm in Keansburg now. Funny--we went it opposite directions lol.
I feel like we've had this convo before lol. Good to meet you--again

You should always replace both sides when doing brake hoses if the hoses have been in use >70K miles. The hoses for these Tahoes are $15 at worst. They are all made by the same Chinese company.

Thx, I try. I'm def not a mechanic, but I've gotten some solid advice from this great forum, so just trying to return the love.

Thanks Guys. I took Tony's advice and ordered the stainless steal rear hoses. Now just have to wait for a nice sunny weekend to replace them.

Don't forget you're gonna need to bleed the system after.

 

[ladorn45]

OKay thank you

Just wanted to get an opinion. I was thinking of having a mechanic do it just for this since I don't have my home garage avail for the moment. The mechanic wants to charge 300 in labor to replace both rear pads and hoses and bleed the system is that a reasonable price or does that seem high.

Seems high to me, but that's just my opinion. How many hrs is he quoting for?
