Time for new brakes

Yes, I can already hear the grinding on the rear passenger side. What do you all recommend for replacing the brake pads? Should I go OEM or are there better brake pads out there?

Edit: Sean, with all those miles on your car, have you had to replace the brakes?

I guess I'll be the first to research and report on this subject. I'll get the brakes checked out and see what happens...

Doesn't sound right to me at all, but I can hear the grinding and the pad looks about gone..who knows, maybe it's me. But I couldn't believe I already needed brakes

That does sound strange, better take a close look. of course my opinion use factory pads.

Checking with service assist systom, There was a parking brake adjustment problem. Wouldn't hurt to have it checked out.

I would check on any hidden warantees, especially with such low mileage.

Cheers.

CoCo, 4 year old car, new pads and calipers. Maybe even rotors. I have a couple in my garage from when I had my trio of 94 Altys. They were turned once but still within tollerance.

They are two piece if they are the same as the 94. Rotor is about $40us new here. I can change them in my sleep. The calipers may only need new sliders or just lube.

I won my battle with the Dealer but that is because I am Loved....
That is exactly what the Service Manager said. I`m still laughing also. I now have to go back to the origional assessment of "My Nissan Dealer is the Best".

BTW: I can`t reach U by E...........rat!

Hidden warranties? No such thing it's either warranty or it isn't. If it's a hidden warranty it's because the dealer was to stupid to know it was covered.
