Dear all,
I am torn between getting my B14 sentra GA's brake system fixed or not. The car is really old with 11 years and 120K. The brake has always felt a little soft. A mechanic at a shop told me that the right rear cylinder is leaking, due to the drum is worn beyond allowed maximum diameter. The right front brake pad is worn much worse than the driver front brake pad. I think that it is because it is working harder due to the leaking in the other loop. The mechanic didn't tell me this reason, but simply mentioning there is something wrong with the brake system. They quoted 550$ for changing all discs, drums, brake pads, shoes, and two rear cylinders.
Now my question is: is it really worth putting 550$ onto this car? Is there any other solution? I appreciate all your suggestions. Thank you.
