How often should I Replace a Cars Drum Brake Lining?
Most car mechanics and makers say you should replace your car’s drum brake lining when it has worn down to about 1/8 inches or less. You can tell when this happens by measuring the lining with a tape measure. You should plan on having to replace them about every 12,000 miles, or a year of use, whichever comes first. Before you even try to do this, you will probably have already noticed your brakes are making a loud, squealing type of noise. Heed this noise and get your brake drum lining replaced as needed.
