Ford Ecosport Rear Brake Pads
Yes, the Ford Ecosport does have rear brake pads. Both the front and rear brake pads on the Ford Ecosport wear down and require replacement over time. The rear brake pads will frequently wear down at the same rate on both the left and right side of the car, and most rear brake pads wear down faster due to the brake mechanics of rear-wheel drive cars .
If you need to replace the rear brake pads on your Ford Ecosport, it’s recommended to consult the Ford Ecosport maintenance schedule for details on when inspections and rear brake pad replacement are recommended.
For high-quality replacement, it’s advisable to use high-quality brake pads to ensure safety and peace of mind.

What cars have rear brakes?
Every car comes with two front brakes and two rear brakes. Older vehicles typically have drum brakes in both the front and rear. In contrast, modern cars tend to have either disc brakes on all four wheels or disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the back.
Do I have to change both rear brake pads?
Typically, you should have both your front brake pads replaced at the same time, and your rear pads replaced at the same time, to ensure proper braking power. Of course, to make it easier on yourself with one simple visit, rather than two to four visits, you may want to replace all four brake pads at the same time.
Do you have brake pads in the rear?
In most cars, each caliper has one inner pad and one outer pad. That’s a total of four pads on a car with front disc brakes, and 8 on a car with front and rear brakes. New cars with electronic parking brakes often have separate parking brake calipers on the rear wheels. That’s another four pads.
How do I know if my brake pads are front or rear?
The front brake pads typically have a larger surface area and are subjected to higher levels of heat and friction due to the weight transfer that occurs during braking. Rear brake pads, on the other hand, are usually smaller and have a different composition to provide optimal braking performance for the rear wheels.
Do front and rear brake pads come together?
Is it okay to replace front brake pads with rear? Almost always you’re going to have different brake calipers on front vs back. The fronts are going to be larger, and more than likely you wouldn’t be able to even put the brake pads of the rears on the fronts.
Does my car have rear brakes?
All cars have front and rear brakes. Your car may have a ‘disc brake’ system across all four wheels, a ‘drum brake’ system across all four wheels (less common these days), or a combination of the two (very common), usually with a disc system on the front brakes and a drum system on the rear brakes.
Why do some cars still have drum brakes?
Auto manufacturers continue to use rear drum brakes for two main reasons – lower cost and less complexity. Drum brakes are less expensive to produce because they require fewer parts than disc brakes. Unlike disc brakes, drum brakes can function as both a service brake and a parking brake.
Do all cars have front and back brake pads?
Every car comes with two front brakes and two rear brakes. Older vehicles typically have drum brakes in both the front and rear. In contrast, modern cars tend to have either disc brakes on all four wheels or disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the back.
Are there 2 brake pads on each wheel?
Although, a typical car model has two pads on each wheel, the front, and the rear. However, some cars utilize two pads in a single wheel, which makes them eight. The vehicles also have calipers, which have four pads, and there are cars with two calipers.
Are there brake pads on rear tires?
70/30 Braking Rule
The rear brakes do the rest. Because the motor adds more weight to the front of most vehicles, more stopping ability is needed to reduce the stopping distance. Rear brake pads have two functions: to help stop the vehicle and to keep its rear from rising when braking.
