   Do brake pads need to be replaced at the same time?

   • Brake pads must be replaced at the same time as discs. Brake components rust easily. On front brakes, surface rust is quickly rubbed off by the action of the brake pads on the discs. Rust can build up on rear brake discs which aren’t used as often - especially on light cars or ones only used for local trips.
